25. The Herrscher's Farewell

"But I refuse!"

Her powerful words resonated deeply, and with just a few words, the space around Xilin distorted and vanished, her indifferent expression replaced by astonishment.

Walter's brow twitched, seemingly completely unprepared for Mo Mo's response.

"Miss Mo Mo, you..."

“Walter, please allow me to call you that. I’m sorry, I can’t grant your request,” Mo Mo said with utmost seriousness. “I don’t want to see innocent people get hurt, but I also don’t want to give up… I believe we can understand each other!”

Mutual understanding.

These were also words that Walter found incredibly familiar, and they were also one of his dreams.

However, faced with the incredibly harsh reality, the burdens he carries prevent him from choosing to act recklessly.

“But I will help you, at least to make her listen to us.” Mo Mo’s words changed the subject, refreshing Sirin and Walter’s thoughts.

“You’re really unpredictable… Miss Momo.” Walter shook his head. “But I understand what you mean.”

“Yes, I understand now.” A look of disgust shot from Sirin’s eyes. “Truly hypocritical humans, even you are the same!”

In any case, violence will eventually be used to resolve the issue. This is a lesson that Celine has learned from her long-standing suffering, and it is also a principle she practices.

“If that were the case, I would have acted from the start!” Mo Mo pulled out the card. “Xilin, I really did this because I wanted to save her.”

"I don't believe it. Haven't you played these kinds of tricks enough?" Xilin seemed completely deaf to Mo Mo's words. "What adoption, what experiments, what for humanity—it's all a lie!"

"Humans are not trustworthy at all, not even you." Pointing at Mo Mo, Xilin said hysterically, "All this kindness, all this sweet talk, none of it is trustworthy! You just want to deceive me, cheat me, and then use me. Do you think I don't know that?"

In her hysteria, everything around her seemed to become restless, fluctuating with the ebb and flow of Sirin's emotions.

"What a pity, I won't be fooled again..." After screaming hysterically, Sirin, slightly out of breath, raised her hands, "You, and all the other hypocritical humans, will not escape!"

"Then why didn't you kill me before?" Mo Mo retorted. "You had so many opportunities, but you never did it. You're the one deceiving yourself!"

They are clearly the same; if one of them had truly killed the other, the other would never have survived unscathed until now.

Mo Mo was like this, and so was Xi Lin.

This is the result of a silent, tacit understanding between the two parties.

"..."

Mo Mo's words made Xilin's expression even more fierce, but she couldn't utter a complete line.

“Cirin…”

"Don't flatter yourself. I only reluctantly treat you as a useful servant!" After stammering for a while, Sirin finally blurted out a line, "You think I really won't kill you? Then I'll prove it to you right now!"

As she raised her right hand, several dark slits appeared behind Sirin, revealing sharp spear tips.

"Hypocritical humans, die!"

The repeated attack methods had given Mo Mo ample experience in dealing with them.

"Clang!"

In an instant, a cross appeared in front of Mo Mo, blocking the unstoppable attack and deflecting the incoming Void Spear.

"The Oath of Judah..." Walter murmured the name of the cross. Why was the Divine Key, which had been controlling Theresa just moments before, suddenly appearing here?

The surprises I received today were a bit excessive.

Even Celine recognized it as the cross that the white-haired little girl had been holding not long ago.

That was a weapon that even I couldn't destroy, a weapon that I had to be extremely wary of.

Why did Mo Mo get hold of it?

However, compared to Walter, such questions were fleeting in Sirin's mind. What the cross was called, what it was used for, and who it belonged to were all unimportant.

They are all powerless against one's own strength.

"This time, we absolutely cannot fail!" Mo Mo declared, stroking the golden cross.

If Sirin were to leave here, succumb to the call of the Honkai will, and go to the moon to inherit the power of the other four Herrscher cores, then everything would be completely out of control.

"Even if you had this, what could you do?" Compared to Mo Mo, Xilin seemed even more confident. "With your body riddled with wounds?"

"With this body that has already saved you once," Mo Mo emphasized again, "I'll save you a second time!"

Although they were already at their last gasp, since they had made a promise, they could not back down now.

"How arrogant!"

With a gentle wave of his hand, a tremendous repulsive force erupted from beneath Mo Mo's feet, as if an invisible giant hand had tossed him into the air.

Four aerial spears emerged from four angles, aiming at Momo, who had lost his balance in mid-air.

"Snap—"

A golden cross unfolded in mid-air, from which eight chains flew out and entangled the Void Spear that had already materialized.

Grabbing one of the chains and flipping it upwards, Mo Mo used it to stand on the chains that were entangled in the air, and drew out the other two spears.

"I'm not going to be taken down so easily!"

If none of the four Void Spears achieved their goal, Sirin's next move was to add four more.

A total of eight gaps unfolded around Mo Mo, forming a circle that enveloped him.

But before Xilin could even show a smug smile, her body suddenly felt incredibly heavy, as if weighed down by countless heavy objects, and she was forced to fall from the sky to the ground.

"Second Herrscher, don't think you only have one opponent." The black sphere floating in Welt's hand flashed, and the Void Spear that had just been squeezed out of the Imaginary Space lost its agility and fell straight to the ground towards Sirin.

Even Mo Mo was not spared, falling down with Judas as a cushion.

Before the force that manipulates gravity, everything is equal.

"Stop causing trouble, you imposter!" Sirin said through gritted teeth in a fit of rage. The Spear of Subspace trembled as if it had lost its soul, yet it could not move. "There is clearly no Honkai energy left."

“Indeed, I’ve almost reached my limit, and the silver bullets didn’t do much damage to you before.” Maintaining the gravity field, Welt’s expression didn’t look good either. “But how much better off are you than me, Second Herrscher?”

The losses from the previous battles were real.

Walter also saw through Sirin's current bluster and pretense.

"Mo Mo, make your move!"

"Okay." Forcing out a single word, Mo Mo supported Judas as he stood up, pulling the chains away. "Sirin, come back with us."

"Don't even think about it!" Xilin stretched out her hand, trembling, and snapped her fingers.

A visible distortion suddenly appeared between the three people and gradually expanded.

Ultimately, an explosion occurred.

Although far less powerful than the atomic egg, it still forced Momo and Walter back. The fragile gravitational field was thus broken.

"Roar!"

Amidst the billowing dust, a resounding dragon's roar echoed, accompanied by gusts of wind.

The enormous, silvery-white body flew to Sirin's side, and Sirin struggled to climb onto it.

"It's that Honkai Beast again!" Welt's heart sank. The fierce winds were making it difficult for his weakened body to even stand. "I won't let you escape!"

Before Walter could activate his power, Benares, the Honkai Dragon, unleashed a burst of dragon breath, sending him flying.

Then it flapped its wings and gradually rose into the air.

"Cough." Coughing up a mouthful of blood, Walter used his last strength to call out, "Momo!"

"Understood!" Mo Mo grabbed Judas beside him, and the two chains shot off in the direction Benares had taken off.

It flew erratically and finally wrapped itself around its right leg.

A mythical force pulled the chains, moved the cross, and also carried Momo, who was holding the cross, away.

"Cough cough cough..." After coughing heavily twice, Walter felt his body lighten and swayed as he collapsed to the ground.

All he could do was gaze at Mo Mo as he gradually disappeared into the distance.

......

[You're going too far! You're getting more and more reckless, Mo Zai!]

【...】

Ignoring the system's exasperation, Mo Mo gripped the chains and moved forward inch by inch.

Benares is still taking off.

"Even now, you're still not giving up?" Xilin's voice came from above Mo Mo's head.

This time, however, he sounded particularly tired.

Benares also stopped, flapping its wings, and remained suspended in the air.

"I promised to take you back." Repeating these stubborn words, Mo Mo still didn't stop.

"..."

My child, what are you waiting for?

【I......】

Kill him.

【I......】

Kill him.

【...】

"I don't want to be deceived anymore..." Sirin murmured to herself, "Only God is worthy of trust..."

Humans are simply not trustworthy.

"Humans are simply not trustworthy..."

With her head lowered, Sirin walked step by step toward the place where the chains were wrapped around her.

Mo Mo's mouth opened and closed, as if he was saying something.

Kill him.
