Otherwise, Otto probably wouldn't have been qualified to select gems and Valkyries for experiments; he would probably have just used whatever he got his hands on.

Now, because of this boy, Maki has actually come into contact with three to five Herrscher cores...

Thinking about it carefully, I realized that my initial assessment of this kid was indeed correct!

Gu Yu, who can keep a Herrscher as a pet, is indeed a ruthless person of the highest caliber.

He's far more terrifying than that great demon Otto!

"Okay, I'll be there in three days. If I'm not there, contact me using the same method you used today."

After watching Dr. Magi leave the room with mixed feelings, Gu Yu immediately prepared to withdraw her consciousness from the space.

However, before he left, Cang Xuan suddenly asked a question.

"Gu Yu, what's the situation outside right now?"

"Has the ninth Honkai event occurred during this period?"

Having experienced the battles of the previous era, Cangxuan knew that once the Honkai erupted at a high intensity, the subsequent battles would only become more and more intense.

From the Third Collapse to the Sixth Collapse in the previous era, at least three years passed.

However, only about half a year has passed since the third collapse to the current ninth collapse.

Judging from the subsequent battles of the last era, the frequency of Herrscher appearances will only increase.

If we continue this line of reasoning...

—Won't the Herrscher of the End, who evokes despair, be born in this era at the end of this year?!

PS1: I fell asleep halfway through writing, but I'm awake now and starting to write again.

Writing less is out of the question. The issue of getting featured this month has already been devastating. If I write even less, I'll lose my half-year attendance bonus, and my royalties will probably drop by about a week...

With six-figure debts still owed, who would dare to slack off?

Chapter 501. Information on the Thirteenth Herrscher

"After you all came in, there were probably three collapses in total in Oceania, the headquarters of Destiny, and Sky City."

"The Ninth Honkai Impact doesn't exist. After all..."

Thinking about what happened today, Gu Yu sighed helplessly.

"In the Honkai that broke out in Sky City today, a total of four Herrschers awakened."

"Including the defeated Second Herrscher Sirin, the Second Herrscher, Seventh Herrscher, Eighth Herrscher, and Ninth Herrscher have awakened simultaneously."

"These four Herrschers who awakened at the same time actually received less Honkai energy than before because there were too many awakened individuals. That's why I was able to defeat all four of them at once. Otherwise..."

Upon hearing this, Danzhu couldn't help but blurt out her inner thoughts.

"You're saying a total of four Herrschers awakened this time???"

"Wait a minute, this never happened in the last era. Even when the Honkai Impact 3rd era went all out to target them, they didn't release four Herrschers at once when creating them, did they???"

"Furthermore, if four Herrschers are born at once this time, wouldn't the next Honkai Impact be..."

"—Four more, and then it'll be the end!"

Yes, that seems to be the case.

Thinking of the culprit behind this incident, Gu Yu felt that she had gone too far.

That stupid idiot Fumikazusa, after all the trouble he's caused, it turns out he's just been doing all that work for Honkai for nothing.

The four human pillars that were found were the four Herrschers appointed by the Honkai God.

Of the life force absorbed during the Witch's Feast, very little was converted into magic power; almost all of it was converted into Honkai energy, which was used to awaken the four Herrschers.

Moreover, this acceleration is exactly what the two seniors, Danzhu and Cangxuan, were worried about. If four more Herrschers come next time, the end will be nigh.

Otto sealed the Honkai energy after the Great Collapse, and Einstein and Tesla created the Moon Throne to target the End—but all of this happened three or four years later.

It's only 2014! Why is the awakening of the Herrschers in this world progressing so quickly?

Although this was a case of Fueki's clever trick backfiring, theoretically, this frustrating scene of four Herrschers awakening simultaneously shouldn't be repeated next time, but...

—It's better to be safe than sorry.

Gu Yu hadn't forgotten that, putting aside Otto, that troublemaker, the Demonic Demon was still lurking somewhere, who knows where.

While the demon itself isn't overwhelmingly powerful, its weak physical form doesn't matter...

Honkai prefers high-level fighters that are not strong in their own form but are easy to control.

I want to swear.

But there's no one here to yell at.

I'm so angry!

"The subsequent Herrschers, the Herrscher of Domination, the Herrscher of Death, the Herrscher of Corruption... wait a minute."

After thinking about the Herrschers that would follow, Gu Yu suddenly looked at Dan Zhu and Cang Xuan.

"Gentlemen, I've wanted to ask this for a long time. Who exactly is the thirteenth Herrscher of the previous era, and what are his abilities?"

"As members of the Firemoth, you should know about this Herrscher, right?"

"Ha, so there are things you don't know."

After being bombarded with Gu Yu's long passage, Danzhu immediately forgot the desperate information and speculations in her mind.

"But unfortunately, we don't know anything about this Herrscher."

Recalling the conversation between Dr. Mei and the others, Danzhu and Cangxuan were also quite helpless about Gu Yu's question.

"The Thirteenth Herrscher arrived very suddenly. After defeating this Herrscher, Dr. Mei did not disclose any information and began preparing the Moon Throne."

"In the end, all we knew about the Thirteenth Herrscher was that Dr. Mei quickly completed the Thirteenth Divine Key. If we had to say something, it would probably be that the Divine Key was eventually taken away by someone."

After recounting this information, Danzhu pondered for a few seconds with a troubled expression before suddenly adding something.

"Oh right, I think I remember now. The keyword for the Thirteenth Herrscher is [fusion]. That's all."

"Thank you. I'll be leaving now."

Feeling her eyelids getting heavy, Gu Yu immediately chose to leave the Sacred Mark space.

After returning to the real world, Gu Yu looked at the people surrounding him and the Herrscher of Knowledge with a complicated expression, and took out the Eye Soul that had just sealed Fu Hua's soul from his pocket.

"Kid, come here."

"What...what are you going to do!"

Upon hearing Gu Yu's shout, the Herald of Knowledge immediately took several steps back in alarm.

"I'm warning you! I was just careless just now. If I get serious..."

"Huh? You mean you didn't beat him enough before, right?"

"Alright. After all, we've never officially fought before, so now..."

"I didn't say anything!"

Sensing a faint black aura emanating from Gu Yu, the Herald of Knowledge reluctantly approached Gu Yu's side.

Afterwards, Gu Yu crushed the Eye Soul and released Fu Hua's soul from it.

With Gu Yu's action, Fu Hua's soul immediately returned to her body.

"Who...who are you?!"

Upon sensing another consciousness emerging within her body, the Herrscher of Knowledge panicked.

No, I am Fu Hua, why am I panicking!

But why...?

As the gray-haired woman gradually opened her eyes, the Herrscher of Knowledge suddenly realized the truth of the matter.

She is not Fu Hua.

The real Fu Hua should be this woman in front of me.

Although there was no basis for it, the idea was now popping wildly into her mind.

"This time, thank you very much."

Taking advantage of the Herrscher of Knowledge's anxiety, Fu Hua regained control of her body and bowed slightly to Gu Yu.

"I owe you another favor."

PS1: I only realized how brave Dr. Mei was after reading the Secrets of the Divine Keys.

When L10-997 led the other individuals to find Dr. Mei, she had already donned the Blank Key. Dr. Mei then embedded the Herrscher of Thunder core into the Blank Key, connecting it to the Imaginary Space, and temporarily became the Herrscher of Thunder.

The connection lasted for 201 seconds, eliminating 320 individuals, after which Dr. May's body could no longer withstand the load, and the connection was interrupted.

Ten minutes later, Dr. Mei embedded herself into the core of the Herrscher of Wind, and the plan to stop the connection lasted for 65 seconds, eliminating 100 individuals.

Afterwards, Dr. Mei collapsed to the ground due to the excessive burden. Under the protection of Kevin, who had rushed back after eliminating the enemies, she picked up the Divine Key - Judgment of Heavenly Fire and connected it to the Herrscher of Flame core within Judgment of Heavenly Fire. During the 5-second connection process, all remaining individuals were eliminated.

In short, after Dr. Mei wore the Blank Key, she almost single-handedly killed all of the thousand Herrschers.

Wow, I initially thought the husband-and-wife team was Kevin doing the damage, but I never expected it was Dr. May who did it.

While we can't say she was a good person, she truly devoted herself to the fight against the Honkai, even unto death.

He was good at scientific research, but he also had to fight personally. Moreover, he died because he was too badly injured while fighting against the Thousand Herrschers.

In comparison, Otto, you...
