I am Möbius's sister.

Hearing Xilin's gentle voice, Mei was slightly taken aback and then said softly, "I sprained my ankle. I can stand up, but I can't walk."

"I see... then I'll carry you away." Xilin hesitated for a moment, then said.

"Ah..." Upon hearing this, Mei blinked, a look of doubt on her face. Could Xilin really pick her up? Mei felt somewhat incredulous. She had seen Xilin's appearance earlier, and Xilin was clearly much shorter than her, quite petite. Wouldn't she fall if she picked her up?

Upon seeing Mei's suspicious expression, Xilin frowned slightly in dissatisfaction, her cheeks puffing out a little: "What do you mean by that suspicious look? I may be a little petite, but I'm very strong! And I'm not exactly petite... well, I'm not even 1.6 meters tall."

"Sorry, but... can you see the expression on my face?" Mei was slightly surprised by Sirin's slightly dissatisfied words. She hadn't expected Sirin to have night vision. However, after calming down and thinking about it carefully, it wasn't surprising that she had night vision, since she was able to beat that monster so badly that it was powerless to fight back.

"Hmph~ Of course, even though it's pitch black here, I can still make out your facial expression, though your face will be a little blurry." Xilin snorted proudly, showing off her ability to Mei.

Xilin had originally planned to continue chatting with Mei for a while, hoping to establish a strong and reliable image in Mei's mind, but at this moment she suddenly heard an urgent system notification. Xilin had never encountered a notification of this magnitude before.

[Warning! Warning! The Third Herrscher, strengthened by the Will of Honkai, will emerge in three hours. At that time, a second Great Honkai will occur in Changkong City. Please take Mei and Kaiwen and escape Changkong City as soon as possible.]

The system's urgent notification sounded in Sirin's ears three times before stopping, and Sirin's heart jumped. Wasn't it supposed to be that the difficulty had only increased slightly? The Third Herrscher after the Honkai Will was strengthened? This is what you call only slightly increased difficulty?

After being aided by the Honkai Will, the pufferfish went from having one core to five. Now that this Third Herrscher has been strengthened by the Honkai Will, just how powerful is she? Sirin has no idea, which is precisely what makes her feel panicked.

Suddenly, her heart skipped a beat. Without thinking, Sirin picked up Mei from the ground, opened a spatial portal, and teleported her towards Alicia. Before Mei could react, Sirin carried her into the portal.

Two seconds after Sirin left, a thick bolt of lightning suddenly struck down from the sky, landing where Sirin had been standing, instantly sending dust flying and stones flying everywhere.

If Celine were still here, she would probably have been struck squarely on the head.

After Sirin ran out of the portal, the palpitation in her heart disappeared. In her perception, the Herrschers' reactions in the city center area became increasingly intense.

Looking up at the city center, although tall buildings blocked her view, Xilin could still see the lightning raging wildly there, which had become a minefield, a forbidden zone for life.

As soon as Sirin ran out of the portal, she heard Alicia's slightly playful voice: "Little Sirin~ You're here~ I've rescued Miss Kaiwen, and I also dealt with an Emperor-level Honkai Beast."

Upon hearing the sound, Sirin looked over and saw that not far away, Alicia was standing on the corpse of a huge Honkai Beast, holding a bow and arrow, and smiling at her.

The Honkai Beast under Alicia's feet, Sirin, was quite familiar with it; it was Ashura. This Emperor-class Honkai Beast had very special abilities, and Mebius would probably be very happy to have such a special experimental subject.

With that thought in mind, Sirin conjured a huge spatial portal beneath Ashura's corpse, taking it into the imaginary space, while Alicia jumped off the corpse.

"Sister Alicia, thank you for your hard work." Seeing Alicia jump off Ashura's corpse and run towards her, Sirin said with great politeness, while secretly taking a step back warily, afraid that Alicia would lift her up high again.

"It's not hard work, it's not hard work. As long as little Sirin is willing to let me hold her, that's fine. But~ this should be Mei, right~" When Alicia came to Sirin, she didn't lift Sirin up high again. Instead, she looked at Mei in Sirin's arms, her smile full of kindness.

Mei only just came to her senses. She stared blankly at Alicia in front of her, opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything. Had she been teleported to another place? This was clearly not the city center anymore. Even the light was much brighter, and the uncomfortable feeling in her body had lessened considerably.

She understood that all of this was accomplished by the girl named Sirin who was holding her in front of her. Mei's curiosity about Sirin soared to its peak. She desperately wanted to know the principle behind Sirin's teleportation ability and the fundamental reason why Sirin could possess such power. Teleporting humans was something that was simply impossible with the current level of human technology.

"By the way, Sister Alicia, where did that Kaiwen go? Why haven't I seen her?"

As Mei was lost in thought, Xilin's voice pulled her back to reality. That's right, Kaiwen! She didn't know how Kaiwen was doing. Although Mei hadn't accepted Kaiwen's advances yet, she couldn't deny that she had developed quite a bit of affection for Kaiwen.

"Her? While I was entangled with that Emperor-class Honkai Beast, she got into a fight with a Rush-class Honkai Beast and got injured. She's still lying there. But she's quite talented; she actually killed a Rush-class Honkai Beast with just a baseball bat." As she spoke, Alicia's face showed a satisfied expression. What pleased her even more was that Kaiwen was also a beautiful girl.

"That's good. Let's quickly take Kaiwen and Mei away from Changkong City. The Third Herrscher is about to come out. We need to tell the people outside about the situation here so they can send reinforcements as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, Alicia's expression became much more serious. She nodded slightly and ran towards Kaiwen with Sirin. After picking up Kaiwen, Sirin quickly opened a spatial portal to the Firemoth Camp. Together with Alicia, one person took Mei and the other took Kaiwen, and they went inside.

As soon as Xilin stepped into the camp, she heard a system notification.

The emergency event [Rescue Kevin and May] has been completed. Rewards will be automatically distributed in an undisturbed environment.

Chapter Twenty-Four: Sister, I Missed You So Much!

Celine paused, a gleam of surprise flashing in her eyes. Fantastic! This was like a godsend! Two chances to win a prize plus a golden treasure chest—what she got would definitely help her current situation, as long as she wasn't too unlucky. Celine always believed in her good luck; after all, beautiful girls always seem to have the best luck!

What? You mean that bracelet from last time? That was just an accident, and the abilities of eternal youth and extended lifespan are pretty powerful, aren't they? Although it's useless to her, from that perspective, she's not really that bad.

Stepping out of the spatial portal, Sirin carried Mei and ran towards the area where the support personnel were gathered. Alicia followed closely behind with Kaiwen. Since the medical staff were support workers, their number of survivors was relatively considerable compared to the combat personnel, whose casualties were enormous.

After handing Mei and Keven over to the medical staff of the Firemoth, Sirin breathed a sigh of relief. However, she knew that Keven and Mei were not safe now, and no one here could be considered safe. The second Honkai caused by the appearance of the Herrscher would definitely turn this place into a living hell trampled by Honkai Beasts once again.

Everyone must be evacuated to a safe area before the Herrscher appears, and May and Keven must be brought back to the Flame Chaser's base. Only in this way can we say that Keven and May are safe.

Sirin entrusted the task of leading everyone here to safety to Alicia. Although Alicia had a lively personality, she had to be said to have leadership qualities. Everyone here listened to Alicia, so she was the perfect person to do this.

Sirin, on the other hand, planned to collect enough Honkai Beast remains beforehand to complete the unexpected event of [Mebius's Request]. She wanted to open all the treasure chests and draw all the prizes she could before the Third Herrscher officially appeared, and then, before the Third Herrscher hatched, see if she could deliver a devastating blow to her.

Although launching a sneak attack when the other party is not prepared is somewhat unethical, as long as you can win, who cares about whether it's ethical or unethical, despicable or not?

Her philosophy is to strike hard against enemies and treat friends with kindness.

Besides, can dealing with an enemy be called a sneak attack? That's called divine justice!

Thinking of something and doing it immediately, Sirin is always a person of action. She ran to the battlefield where the thousands of Honkai Beast corpses were located and collected a large number of Honkai Beast remains. She took two large portions of each type of Honkai Beast. Anyway, she could open up imaginary space to store them, so it didn't matter how much she took.

While collecting the remains of the Honkai Beasts, Sirin also absorbed the Honkai energy in this area again to prevent a small-scale Honkai from being caused, which would be troublesome if it spawned a large number of Honkai Beasts.

After spending nearly twenty minutes collecting the remains of the Honkai Beasts, Sirin took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and transformed into her Herrscher form. She sensed the coordinates of the Firemoth base. Due to the strange and chaotic magnetic field and electromagnetic pulses here, almost all electronic devices were damaged, so the only way to transmit information was by manual means.

The best messenger would be her, who has mastered the power of the Second Herrscher, since she can teleport, making it easy for her to send a message, although it would consume a lot of Honkai energy.

Before long, Sirin sensed the coordinates of the Fire Moth base. With a thought, a spatial portal opened in front of her in an instant. Her proficiency in this skill was getting higher and higher.

The destination of this spatial portal was Möbius's laboratory, and for some reason, she remembered the coordinates of this place better than other places.

Sirin took a deep breath and stepped into the spatial portal.

Meanwhile, in Mebius's laboratory, the Honkai energy alarm was emitting a piercing warning, constantly reminding people that the Honkai energy concentration was too high. Even though the standard for issuing warnings here had been raised considerably, considering that this laboratory often conducted experiments, the alarm still went off.

The continuous, piercing alarms startled Klein awake from her nap buried in piles of documents. She groggily looked up and around. When she saw the spatial portal that had suddenly appeared in the laboratory, she was first taken aback, and then looked puzzled. What was this thing?

Before she could figure it out, a small white leg stretched out from inside the door, causing Klein to widen his eyes and become speechless.

When Sirin stepped out of the spatial portal, she immediately saw Klein standing blankly not far away. Looking at the green-haired girl with dark circles under her eyes, Sirin raised an eyebrow slightly. This was probably her sister's assistant. But why was she still here so late?

Hearing the continuous alarm, Sirin frowned slightly. This thing was really annoying. Then, with a thought, Sirin closed the spatial portal. After the spatial portal closed, the alarm stopped because the thing emitting Honkai energy disappeared.

As for Sirin, she kept all her Honkai energy within her body, without any leakage, thus avoiding detection by the Honkai energy concentration monitoring system.

"Klein... what's going on? Why is it so noisy?"

Just as Sirin was about to ask the green-haired girl over there where Möbius was, a familiar voice rang in her ears. It was Möbius's voice, a distinctive voice that she remembered vividly.

"Sister!" Sirin, having deactivated her Herrscher form, ran towards Mebius as she saw him emerge from the laboratory, throwing herself into his arms.

"Sirin? What are you doing here? Weren't you in Changkong City?" Seeing Sirin appear here, Mebius's face showed a surprised expression. She thought Sirin would not return until after the Third Honkai Impact ended.

"Of course I came back because I missed my sister~☆" Sirin hugged Mebius's waist tightly.

"Oh? You missed your sister, so you came back? That's not a good enough reason. A warrior can't desert his post." Mebius placed his hand on Sirin's fluffy little head and rubbed it. Hmm, it still felt the same, and it even seemed a little better to touch.

“Okay, actually I’m here to deliver a message and to give you the Honkai Beast corpses that you asked me to collect, sister.” Sirin sighed helplessly, letting Mebius rub her head. “There’s a Judgment-class Honkai Beast, an Emperor-class Honkai Beast, and a bunch of lower-class Honkai Beast remains.”

Upon hearing this, Mebius's eyes lit up. Judgment-class Honkai Beasts were extremely rare experimental materials. She never expected that Sirin could get her a Judgment-class Honkai Beast for research. She was growing to like Sirin more and more.

[Mebius's favorability +5, current favorability 71]

The emergency event [Möbius's Request] has been completed, and the favorability reward has been distributed. The remaining rewards will be distributed in the absence of interference.

Chapter Twenty-Five: Sister, You're Getting Too Close!

Hearing the system notification in her ear, Sirin pondered for a moment. What did a favorability rating of seventy mean? Sirin didn't know, and the system didn't say either. Favorability was a very general concept.

Celine looked at Möbius in front of her. Möbius was smiling at her and seemed no different from before, except that the look in his eyes seemed to have changed slightly.

"Sirin~ If possible, could you bring the corpse of the Third Herrscher over for me to study after you defeat it?" Mebius suddenly spoke up, still smiling.

"Ah, this..." Sirin was stunned for a moment upon hearing this. She roughly guessed what kind of look Mebius was giving her. It was clearly the look of someone looking at a good tool!

"Help me, Sirin~ You know those people don't like me. If they take back the Third Herrscher's body, it will be very difficult for me to get it. Even if I do get it, I can't just experiment on it. I know Sirin is an obedient child, right?" Mebius said as he moved closer to Sirin, placing his hands on her shoulders.

"Sister... Sister, don't get so close..." Looking at Mebius's face so close to hers and feeling his warm, fragrant breath, Sirin's face involuntarily turned red.

"Cirin~ help me~" Mebius ignored Sirin's words and continued to move closer, her nose almost touching Sirin's.

"But...but, sister, how can you be so sure...that I can definitely defeat the Third Herrscher?" Sirin's face turned red as she kept backing away, her legs feeling a little weak, but Mebius was also getting closer and closer.

“Because if you don’t win, humanity will be doomed, so there’s no other good ending~” Mebius pressed on Sirin’s shoulder, the corners of his mouth constantly turning up, his expression unchanged, as if he didn’t care about the outcome of humanity’s demise. “Besides, I believe you can win.”

Möbius's eyes were full of confidence, both for himself and for Sirin.

Klein stared blankly at everything. From her angle, it looked like Sirin and Mebius were kissing, making Klein blush furiously. Was it really appropriate for her to still be standing there? Maybe she should just go back to sleep and pretend she hadn't seen anything.

With this in mind, Klein forced himself to remain calm and returned to his seat, lying on the table and pretending to be fast asleep.

Upon sensing the commotion behind her, Xilin's face flushed even more. Oh no! She was going to be misunderstood.

Feeling the oppressive gaze from Möbius, Sirin stammered helplessly, "I...I agree, okay...Sister, you're standing way too close...Could you...get up a little?"

Looking at Sirin's rosy cheeks, Möbius chuckled, released Sirin, and said with a smile, "Then this task is yours~ Sirin is such an obedient and good child."

After Möbius moved away, Celine breathed a sigh of relief, and then realized that she had been lying on the ground without her noticing. Her legs were even a little weak, and the fragrance of Möbius seemed to linger in her nostrils. The blush on her face had not faded for a long time.

Thinking about how close Möbius had been to her just now, Sirin's face involuntarily flushed again. Möbius had never done anything like this to her before, and this feeling... how to put it... was quite nice.

Looking up at the smile on Möbius's face, Sirin felt as if she and Möbius had grown closer, even closer than before. It was then that Sirin realized that the favorability rating represented Möbius's attitude towards her, not anything else.

Well, let's not worry about that for now. More than ten minutes have passed since she arrived, so we need to hurry.

With a slightly helpless sigh, Sirin prepared to hand over Shesa's corpse, Ashura's corpse, and various other samples of Honkai Beasts to Mebius.

Because the deliverable was too large, Sirin specifically found an open space to complete the delivery. The most difficult part to deliver, the strange black mud, was sealed in a container by Mebius using a special method.

After delivering the Honkai Beast samples, Sirin was taken by Mebius to convey the current situation in Changkong City to the Firemoth Council.

Fortunately, the council leaders were not fools who lacked discernment. After receiving the news, they did not doubt its authenticity and quickly mobilized manpower to reinforce Changkong City. At this point, there was only about an hour and a half left.

The Moth Chaser Council originally proposed that Sirin transport a large number of people to Changkong City via spatial teleportation, but Sirin rejected them on the grounds that she was not yet proficient in long-distance teleportation of multiple people.

Although Sirin is capable of doing this, teleporting over such a long distance will inevitably consume a large amount of her Honkai energy. If she cannot ensure that she is in peak condition before the battle, Sirin is certain that her chances of winning against the Third Herrscher will be much lower.

Moreover, an hour and a half is enough time for them to bring reinforcements to Changkong City. In Sirin's opinion, the Moth Chaser Council, which made this request, is simply an amateur interfering with professionals, giving orders without knowing anything, and really thinking that her Honkai can be restored so easily.

However, it is normal for these people to have such thoughts. After all, humans know very little about the Herrschers. However, it is a consensus that they possess god-like powers, so some misunderstandings can be explained.

After rejecting the Fire Moth's offer, Sirin prepared to say goodbye to Mebius and teleport back to Changkong City as quickly as possible.

She hasn't forgotten her plan to bring justice from the heavens. If this plan succeeds, even if it doesn't kill the Third Herrscher, it will definitely give her a huge advantage.

The farewell was brief, and there was no reluctance in Möbius's eyes, because, as she said, she trusted her own judgment and she trusted Sirin.

After a brief farewell, Xilin opened a spatial portal to Changkong City.

When she teleported back to Changkong City, Sirin did not choose to return to the Firemoth's camp, but instead teleported to the commercial street of Changkong City. She did not want Alicia to know her plan, otherwise Alicia would definitely pester her to go with her.

While it's true that many hands make light work, this situation is far too dangerous. It's best for her to act alone, since the Third Herrscher has been strengthened by the Honkai Will, and no one knows the extent of her power.
