The Artifact Forger from the Beginning of Collapse

"You flatter me, sir," Gray Serpent No. 2 said modestly.

"..."

"That gray snake is such a good infiltrator," Raiden Mei complained to Kiana from the side.

"Indeed. It feels like the world is a giant sieve." Kiana nodded in agreement.

"Don't say that, we do know how to fight. We just haven't had the chance yet." Kaguya Houraisan waved her hand.

"Herrschers and their comrades! You are surrounded by the Far East Branch of Schicksal! Lay down your weapons and surrender immediately!" Suddenly, a deafening voice came from outside.

"Theresa's voice?" Siegfried was taken aback.

"Alright, now that the eleventh Divine Key holder has appeared, who will go?" Chen Li looked at his fierce generals.

“I’ll do it! The Spring Spirit told me that if I fight Theresa, she’s willing to help unconditionally and unlock all her abilities! I can finally have some fun!” Kiana raised her hand and said.

"Stop messing around, that's your period." Siegfried tugged at Kiana's sleeve.

"Huh? Aunt Flo? Never heard of that."

“She’s your mother’s best friend,” Siegfried said.

"So, during the second Honkai Impact, it was our whole family who ganged up on Sirin?" Kiana retorted.

"Uh... sort of."

“Me!” Kaguya Houraisan slowly stood up.

"You're finally willing to move?" Chen Li asked in surprise.

"I have Admiral Gabriel, who can slay Theresa!"

"Huh?" Gabriel was completely bewildered.

"Go, Gabriel, give that nun Theresa a little angelic shock!" Kaguya Houraisan grabbed Gabriel by the back of her collar, intending to throw her out.

However, Kaguya Houraisan was the first to feel herself being disturbed by the back of her collar. Turning her head, she saw Chen Li.

"Kaguya, let me see your limit."

"what?"

"Don't worry, I'll put a shield on you."

"Chen Li, don't do this, I'm scared." Looking at Chen Li, who had even handed over the core of his Moments to her, Kaguya Houraisan was even more frightened.

He was afraid that Chen Li would put him into the real body of his WeChat Moments and then kick him out like a football.

"Tch, forget it, I have General Siegfried, who can kill Theresa!" Chen Li looked at Siegfried.

"Huh? Me? Theresa is my sister, my dearest friend, she's Kiana's aunt! It wouldn't be appropriate for me to go, would it?"

"I have a wondrous object here called the Resurrection Game... As the name suggests, it can resurrect any living being."

“I see that destiny is corrupt and anti-entropy is incompetent! The only rising star capable of fighting against the collapse is World Serpent! I am willing to go!” Siegfried instantly changed his expression.

"Dad, that's not what you said just now."

“Silly child, your old man still needs this to save your old woman,” Siegfried whispered.

"Oh, then you'll have to work hard. Because you're not the only one who wants to revive Cecilia," Chen Li said.

“Who else? I didn’t expect anyone to still remember Cecilia…” Siegfried was deeply moved.

“It’s Cecilia. She thinks Cecilia is still beautiful. She not only wants to resurrect her own mother, but also wants to resurrect Cecilia as well. You can never have too much maternal love, right?” Chen Li shrugged.

"Damn the Second Herrscher!" Siegfried, wielding the Skyfire Greatsword, burst through the window.

No, I need to hurry!

His wife is about to be stolen away by Celine!

"What? My mom wants to resurrect my mom and then take her away?" Kiana was shocked.

"???" by Raiden Mei.

Raiden Mei, who was completely oblivious to what Kiana was saying, couldn't understand a word Kiana was saying.

Are you speaking human language?

What do you mean by "your mom wants to resurrect your mom and then take her away"?

How many mothers do you have?

"Theresa! I've subdued the Herrscher! Get down here! And Raiden Mei has tons of bitter melon juice! And tons of limited edition Homu plushies!"

Siegfried began to select a plan.

Siegfried chose the principle of "all's fair in war."

I'm sorry, Theresa, but I have to do something despicable to you for Cecilia's sake.

Siegfried could tell that Chen Li wasn't a bad person, so this was a necessary sacrifice to save Cecilia!

Siegfried thought that if Theresa were in his shoes, she would have done the same.

"What? Is that so? I'll come down right away!" Theresa exclaimed with delight!

234

Chapter 234 Although Otto, you have lost Saint Kallen, you still have me (11k) "Siegfried! I considered you my brother, my dearest friend, and you actually lied to me!" Theresa glared angrily at Siegfried.

"Haha..." Siegfried scratched his head sheepishly.

"..." Theresa got angry at Siegfried's silly grin.

"Damn it, I'm bound by the oath of Judah again. No, why did I say 'again'?"

"I was so stupid, really. I only knew that Siegfried, you have the strength to fight a Herrscher one-on-one, possess the Seventh Divine Key, and couldn't be easily subdued by a Herrscher, so naturally I wouldn't lie. But I never expected that you, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, would betray the revolution!" Theresa lamented to herself.

Theresa should have listened to Himeko and shouldn't have entered Raiden Mei's house so rashly.

But who could have imagined that Siegfried, who had put in so much effort to fight the Honkai, would betray them?

If it weren't for Siegfried explaining the situation to Theresa, how could Theresa have fallen into such a stupid trap?

"Siegfried, how can you do this to me? How can you do this to Cecilia?"

“I did this precisely for Cecilia.”

"what?"

“This is a Wondrous Craftsman, possessing a wondrous artifact that can resurrect a being simply by watching an advertisement. And he’s a good person; all he wants is the Divine Key. If I bring you and your Divine Key to him, he’ll share the artifact with me. Theresa, let’s put ourselves in her shoes. If you had met her first, and she offered to resurrect Cecilia if you brought me and my Divine Key, you would definitely have been more ruthless than me,” Siegfried said.

Moreover, Chen Li is an extremely kind person, a fact that has been widely acknowledged.

“That’s true.” Theresa couldn’t help but nod.

If Cecilia could be resurrected, she would be willing to bring Siegfried and his Divine Keys, let alone have Theresa hang Siegfried up and whip him for three days and three nights.

"And I've already obtained this wondrous item, but the problem is that it requires watching many advertisements. It will probably take about 25 hours of continuous advertising to acquire it." Siegfried scratched his head.

"Then go ahead and watch it, it's just 25 hours of commercials!"

"Although this advertisement requires you to watch the screen continuously for 25 hours without taking your eyes off it, it's not too difficult. But the problem is that the resurrected Second Herrscher, Sirin, also has the right to use this artifact, and she's also trying to take Cecilia away from her," Siegfried sighed.

"What?! That damned Second Herrscher! Then hurry up and watch the ad!"

"I want to watch it, I want to watch it..."

"No, you still lied to me!" Theresa suddenly realized that she couldn't put herself in the other person's shoes, because she was the one who was being arrested.

“I’m not lying to you. Look, isn’t there a Houmu here?” Siegfried pointed to Chen Li, who was wearing the Golden Houmu King outfit.

"Do you have any bitter melons at home? Make some fresh bitter melon juice for Theresa," Siegfried said, turning to Raiden Mei.

“No need for all that trouble, Yukari Yakumo!” Chen Li called out, looking up.

"Here it comes, here's some bitter melon juice!" A pair of slender, white hands reached out in front of Chen Li, one holding bitter melon juice and the other holding the latest Houmu comic.

"Here you go." Chen Li took the two items and handed them to Theresa.

"The latest Houmu comic and the limited edition premium bitter melon juice that even I can't bear to drink? Where did you get these?" Theresa was overjoyed upon seeing this.

Although Theresa was bound by the oath of Judah, she still had room to maneuver. When Chen Li said that if Theresa didn't drink the bitter melon juice, he would throw it away, Theresa reluctantly accepted the bitter melon juice.

"Yakumo Yukari, where did you get it?" Chen Li asked.

"I just borrowed it from the headmaster's office at St. Freya Academy," came Yakumo Yukari's voice.

"Pfft!" Theresa spat out a mouthful of bitter melon juice.

Isn't that my house?

"Ahem! You've gone too far!" Theresa exclaimed, embarrassed and angry.

"Don't get so agitated, we just want our belongings back."

"How could the oath of Judah possibly belong to you?"

"Do you know the origin of Judah's oath?"

“The Key of Restraint, a legacy of a pre-civilization.” Theresa nodded.

Theresa isn't entirely stupid; she does know some information about the Divine Keys.
