I am Möbius's sister.

The spearheads of the Void Spears are incredibly sharp, capable of easily piercing the shell of a Judgment-class Honkai Beast. If these dozens of Void Spears were to fall on the Third Herrscher, even if they didn't pierce through, they would probably turn her into a hedgehog.

This was exactly the result Sirin wanted, but... reality never goes as planned. Just as those dozens of Void Spears were about to pierce the flesh of the Third Herrscher, a powerful aura suddenly erupted from the Third Herrscher's body. Rolling lightning spread outwards from her as the center, and the Honkai energy reaction on the Third Herrscher's body continued to increase.

Xilin's right eyelid twitched suddenly, and she decisively detonated the dozens of sub-space spears, causing a small-scale spatial tremor that stirred up a large amount of smoke, dust, and sand.

When the smoke cleared, what appeared before Sirin was a disheveled Third Herrscher. Her right forearm was covered in blood, deep enough to expose the bone, and purple blood dripped onto the ground, turning into Honkai energy and dissipating into the air.

Her dress was tattered, her purple hair was in a mess, and her body was covered in wounds. Even with the Honkai energy to repair her, she couldn't heal herself quickly without the ability to do so.

At this moment, the Third Herrscher's aura fluctuated wildly. Sirin's timely detonation of the Void Spear had forcibly interrupted her burst attack and triggered the damage caused by the large-scale spatial shattering that Sirin's sneak attack had previously caused.

The Third Herrscher wasn't in a good state, but to Sirin's surprise, the Third Herrscher didn't have an angry expression on her face. Instead, she was laughing. Yes, she was laughing, and the laughter sounded somewhat eerie and strange.

"Hehehe... I really underestimated you. I didn't expect you could cause me so much trouble, but... it ends here!" The Third Herrscher stared intently at Sirin, then the smile on her face vanished abruptly, and her cold voice echoed in Sirin's ears.

A thunderous roar erupted in the sky, and a sense of unease crept into Sirin's heart. She instinctively jumped back, and moments later, several beams of laser light, almost blindingly bright, shot towards the spot where Sirin had been standing. The rubble there also heated up rapidly under the irradiation of the lasers.

Seeing the scene before her, Sirin's mouth gaped open in surprise. Why could this guy use lasers? After thinking about it carefully, Sirin realized that lasers were a type of electromagnetic wave. So it wasn't surprising that the Third Herrscher could use lasers as an attack method, since the essence of her power was manipulating electromagnetic fields.

But... this requires manipulating the atoms themselves, right? The Third Herrscher has only been a Herrscher for a short time. Does she really have such a high level of mastery over her powers? And is her knowledge really that extensive? To the point that she can manipulate the atomic level? Thinking about this, Sirin couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine. If the Third Herrscher can manipulate the atomic level, wouldn't she be able to disintegrate objects?

And now that she can even produce lasers, if she continues to grow, wouldn't she be able to produce high-energy gamma rays? Or even directly manipulate the electromagnetic field of the entire Earth?

Of course, Sirin also understood that it was impossible for a Third Herrscher to accomplish something of that magnitude, not even in a lifetime. But even the Third Herrscher who could only use lasers now posed a great threat to Sirin.

After using the Imaginary Barrier to block the Third Herrscher's second laser attack, Sirin pulled her right hand back, and two portals instantly opened beside the Third Herrscher, sending two right square prisms made of imaginary power shooting towards the Third Herrscher.

The Third Herrscher did not sit idly by. Two high-energy lasers and two bolts of lightning struck the two straight square prisms that were shooting at her. However, to the Third Herrscher's surprise, her attack passed right through them and did not stop Sirin's attack as she had expected.

The two straight square prisms also struck the Third Herrscher, instantly solidifying and trapping her inside. Seeing that her attack had hit, Sirin's lips curled up slightly. It seemed that it was time for her to counterattack again.

A moment later, two Void Ribbons shot out from behind Sirin, slicing towards the Third Herrscher. Two cutting sounds rang out, and the two Void Ribbons transformed into Void Spears, stabbing towards the Third Herrscher again. After striking, accompanied by a crisp snap of fingers, the Void Spears were instantly detonated.

Sirin checked the remaining Honkai energy within her body; it was still quite a lot, enough to continue fighting. However, this time, even if the Third Herrscher didn't die, she would be severely injured...

As Sirin looked toward the location of the Third Herrscher, she suddenly felt the earth shake violently, and arcs of electricity leaped across the ground. At the same time, several boulders in front of her slowly rose into the air, leaving behind several large craters in the ground.

This incredibly familiar move made Sirin's right eye twitch.

Sensing something was wrong, Sirin didn't wait for the boulders to fully ascend before reaching out and grabbing at the Third Herrscher. The Third Herrscher, who had just escaped, was trapped by a cube-shaped object made of several imaginary cubes. However, before Sirin could take any further action, rolling lightning shattered the solidified imaginary cube.

Ultimately, these boulders rose into the air along with the Third Herrscher. At this moment, the Third Herrscher was surrounded by lightning, like a thunder god. Her tattered clothes had been restored by Honkai energy, but the wounds on her body had not yet healed.

"With the protection of the gods, no one can defeat me! Not even you! You who stole the authority of the gods!" The Third Herrscher, who had ascended into the sky, looked down at Sirin on the ground, her words full of disdain.

Meanwhile, the roars of the Honkai Beasts echoed from behind. They were excited, incredibly excited, as if celebrating the return of their king. Then, the chaotic footsteps of the Honkai Beasts came from behind, and the hundreds of thousands of Honkai Beasts gathered in Changkong City officially set off for the outside of the city.

At the same time, the Third Herrscher in the sky hurled a huge floating boulder at Sirin on the ground. The familiar attack made Sirin feel a sense of warmth, even though the attack was aimed at her.

But doesn't this guy know she can fly? This kind of attack is only effective against those low-intelligence Honkai Beasts; it's basically useless against Herrschers, since no one is going to stand there stupidly waiting for you to throw it.

As Sirin flew through the air, preparing to dodge the boulder thrown by the Third Herrscher, she muttered to herself, "This guy seems to have suddenly lost his mind. Anyone with a normal intelligence would think that no one would just stand there like an idiot."

However, Sirin soon realized why the Third Herrscher was throwing stones at her. Dozens of lasers shot towards her from all directions, forming a dense laser net that blocked all her paths. In desperation, Sirin had no choice but to use the Imaginary Barrier to protect herself. At this moment, the boulder, accelerated by the Third Herrscher, was about to hit her.

And there was more than one boulder thrown at her.

Xilin gritted her teeth, struggled internally for a while, and finally decided to reveal her trump card, since there was no other way now.

[The fair and just dueling arena is now open! Teleporting duelists to each other has begun!]

Chapter Thirty-Two: Fairness! Fairness!

A moment after the system notification sounded, Sirin's figure and the Third Herrscher's figure suddenly vanished from the spot, as if they had evaporated into thin air.

The massive boulders, now unobstructed, crashed to the ground with another deafening thud, leaving a huge crater, dust flying everywhere, and smoke billowing. Another shocking scar appeared on the surface of Changkong City.

Changkong City has truly suffered many disasters.

Just as Sirin and the Third Herrscher were pulled into the duel arena, the Moth Warriors stationed on the outskirts of Changkong City were continuously firing shells toward the city. Thousands of shells drew beautiful arcs in the dark night sky and fell into the running Honkai Beast horde.

Many of these projectiles are Honkai energy weapons, which can inflict more powerful damage on Honkai Beasts than conventional weapons.

However, although the thousands of shells slowed down the advance of the Honkai Beasts, they were quickly overwhelmed by the surging tide of Honkai Beasts.

These hundreds of thousands of Honkai Beasts are no small number, not to mention the few Emperor-level Honkai Beasts at the front. These hundreds of thousands of Honkai Beasts are enough to destroy a country, leaving nothing but desolation in their wake.

"Where are the cannons! Where are the cannons? Bring up all the remaining cannons! We must stop these Honkai Beasts!" The commander-in-chief, dressed in the uniform of a Moth Chaser officer, shouted to the soldiers behind him while operating the cannons.

Fighter jets flew towards the horde of Honkai beasts in the sky, dropping thousands of bombs on them. This was a battle between humanity and the Honkai, a battle between human technology and Honkai creations.

Alicia stood at the forefront, her hand tightly gripping her weapon—the bow and arrow. Nocking the string and drawing the arrow, Alicia's movements were fluid and seamless. One after another, arrows formed from Honkai energy were fired with unstoppable momentum at the Emperor-class Honkai Beasts leading the charge in front of the Honkai Beast horde.

Even the Emperor-class Honkai Beast, which was difficult to harm even with a large number of bombs, let out an extremely shrill scream after being hit by these arrows, which instantly pierced through its hard shell.

After breaking through the defenses of an Emperor-class Honkai Beast, Alicia took a deep breath, put down her bow, and gazed at Changkong City in the distance. The two Herrscher reactions that had just been detected had mysteriously disappeared, vanished abruptly without any warning. Just a moment ago, the Herrscher reactions were very strong, but the next moment they were completely undetectable.

Now, not only is the fate of the Third Herrscher unknown, but even Sirin's fate is uncertain. Thinking of this, Alicia couldn't help but sigh helplessly. Her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she felt a strange, indescribable feeling in her heart.

She understood that it was out of concern for Sirin. It would be terrible if such a lovely girl were to disappear like this. Although she had full confidence in Sirin, she also knew that this Third Herrscher was much stronger than Sirin.

I just hope Celine is safe and sound. Mebius, Mei, and Kevin are all waiting for Celine to come back. This cute little one is really a worry, and now her fate is unknown, making us all anxious.

Shaking her head to clear her mind of distractions, Alicia continued her attack on the Emperor-class Honkai Beasts. This was her mission: to eliminate the high-level Honkai Beasts from a distance. As for the numerous lower-level Honkai Beasts, she would leave them to the cannonballs. Alicia wasn't so arrogant as to think she could stop a chariot with her bare hands. Hundreds of thousands of Honkai Beasts would probably crush her underfoot.

After several rounds of firepower, the Honkai Beasts' advance speed has been significantly slowed down.

Meanwhile, in an unknown and special space, Sirin and the Third Herrscher faced each other from afar.

This special space is like being sandwiched between two giant clocks, one above and one below, with many gears of all sizes floating around, creating a bizarre and magical scene.

Welcome to the absolutely fair dueling space. Here, the two of you will engage in a duel until a winner is determined or the duration of this space expires. The condition for victory is to severely injure your opponent.

[Now, the duel initiator should draft the duel rules.]

The Third Herrscher was completely bewildered when she was suddenly pulled into this strange space. When she came to her senses, anger appeared on her face. She raised her hand to attack Sirin, but a force suddenly came over her and bound her, making her unable to move.

[WARNING! Neither side may attack the other before the duel officially begins!]

Such a sound echoed in this strange space. The Third Herrscher wanted to break free from this restraint, but after much deliberation, she gave up on the idea. Although it wasn't impossible to break free, she wanted to see what this mysterious space was all about. She could feel that her connection with 'God' had suddenly been severed when she entered this place.

This is also why she decided not to act rashly for the time being.

Sirin glanced at the Third Herrscher who had stopped moving not far away, and a slight smile appeared on her lips. She pointed at the Third Herrscher and confidently shouted, "Heh~ let's have a fair and just duel!"

As soon as Sirin finished speaking, a light screen appeared in front of her, on which she was required to write down the rules of this duel. It also specifically noted that she could freely perform within the framework of the duel, which was indeed a very fair duel.

Looking at the light screen in front of her, Sirin couldn't help but smile. In no time, she wrote down several duel rules.

Rule 1: This duel is turn-based, with the initiator going first.

Rule 2: You cannot dodge or block when attacked.

Rule 3: Hitting the attacker grants an additional turn.

These three short rules were enough. When Sirin's rules were recognized by the duel domain item and read out, the Third Herrscher's face changed, turning extremely ashen.

Is this what you call fair and just? You call this fair and just?

The Third Herrscher on the other side felt extremely uncomfortable, but Sirin felt quite good.

[The duel begins!]

As the announcement ended, Sirin's attack arrived instantly. Several cones formed from the power of imaginary numbers pierced towards the Third Herrscher. Facing the Third Herrscher, who could neither dodge nor defend, the attack hit its target without encountering any resistance.

Immediately afterwards, Sirin grabbed her hand, and dozens of Void Spears pierced towards the Third Herrscher. A moment later, Sirin pulled her hand back, and a spiral arrow formed from imaginary power shot towards the Third Herrscher at an extremely fast speed.

The final attack ended with a crisp snap of the fingers and a deafening explosion; the movements were incredibly fluid, as if they had been practiced a thousand times.

When the Third Herrscher got up from the ground, covered in dust and grime, her eyes were filled with anger as she looked at Sirin. However, she was powerless to do anything to Sirin because Sirin had gained an extra turn. It was as difficult as climbing to heaven for her to take any action. She never expected that she would be forced to such a state by this person who had stolen the authority of the gods!

Chapter Thirty-Three: Hey! Demon, take this!

When attacked, you can neither dodge nor defend, and you even get an extra turn after the attack hits—what kind of scoundrel rules are these?! It's so despicable! How can you avoid being attacked if you can't dodge or evade? This is blatant bullying!

The Third Herrscher roared in her heart, and then Sirin's second wave of attacks came, just like the last time. But the Third Herrscher couldn't dodge at all. As soon as she had the thought of dodging, her legs felt as heavy as lead.

As expected, the Third Herrscher was once again struck by Sirin's overwhelming attack, resulting in even more wounds on her body and her aura weakening.

For the first time, the Third Herrscher felt a fear of death. At this moment, she could no longer hear the voice of the gods, and the protection around her had also disappeared. If this continued, she would really die!

She didn't want to die! She didn't want to die! A strong will to live arose in the heart of the Third Herrscher, and her delicate body trembled slightly, whether from fear or something else, it was unclear.

Looking at the dozens of Void Spears thrusting towards her, the Third Herrscher's mind raced. There must be another way! There must be another way!

Sirin looked at the Third Herrscher, who had stopped struggling, with some surprise. Had she given up so easily? That shouldn't be the case. It was impossible for her to give up so quickly. The Third Herrscher couldn't possibly be unaware that giving up meant death. Could it be that she knew she was no match and was preparing to give up? But something still felt off. Was it just her imagination?

Just as the Void Spears were about to pierce the Third Herrscher, for some reason, Sirin felt a strange feeling growing stronger. She felt that something was not right. Just as Sirin was wondering about this, the Void Spears were suddenly struck by dozens of lightning bolts, followed by a series of explosions.

Just now, the dozens of Void Spears that were attacking the Third Herrscher exploded in mid-air, but this explosion was not caused by Sirin, but by... the Third Herrscher.

The remains of the Void Spears slowly dissipated, and heavy lightning surrounded the Third Herrscher. The dozens of Void Spears were destroyed by this violent lightning. Sirin's attack did not hit the Third Herrscher, and now it was the Third Herrscher's turn!

Upon seeing this, Xilin's pupils contracted slightly, her face filled with disbelief. This was impossible! How could she possibly defend herself! The rules she wrote clearly stated that one could not dodge or defend when attacked!

Wait... if you can't dodge or defend when attacked... that means you can attack when attacked...

Upon realizing this, Xilin froze. Oh no! How could she have made such a basic mistake! Oh no! She should have known better than to be so confident back then. It's true that excessive confidence can make people overlook some details.

Celine was somewhat troubled. She knew her weakness was that she was prone to overconfidence, but she had always ignored this problem. Now it seemed that she had to change this habit.

However, let's add an imaginary barrier for now. There are still many loopholes in the rules she set. If you can't dodge or defend when attacked, then you can dodge or defend before the opponent attacks.

A moment later, a light blue diamond-shaped light screen appeared around Sirin.

At the same time, several bolts of lightning struck towards Sirin, drawing her attention. She quickly summoned several Void Spears to attack the lightning bolts. The Void Spears and the lightning collided in mid-air, and the Void Spears were destroyed by the lightning, which also lost its power and disappeared into the air.

At that moment, the Third Herrscher grinned maliciously and attacked Sirin. Lightning crackled around her, and her arrogant laughter echoed throughout the space: "No matter how strange your methods are, you can't defeat me! Die, you ant!"

The Third Herrscher's attack was as swift as lightning. Before Sirin could even react, it was already in front of her. Dozens of lightning bolts and a laser net composed of high-energy lasers blocked Sirin's retreat. In front of her, the Third Herrscher's left hand formed a claw and attacked her abdomen.

This attack was exactly the same as the Third Herrscher's attack not long ago. However, this time, Sirin could not use any defensive moves and could only attack. But at such close range, Sirin could no longer use those moves that had preparation time.

Fortunately, the imaginary barrier that Sirin had previously set up around her played a crucial role at this moment, successfully blocking the Third Herrscher for a moment, giving Sirin time to deal with the Third Herrscher's attack.

To successfully stop the Third Herrscher, one must not only block its attacks but also regain the initiative. And to do that... there's only one way...

"Hey! Take this sword from this little angel!" With a shout from Sirin, an ancient-style longsword suddenly appeared in her hand and was swung towards the Third Herrscher.

The Third Herrscher initially intended to ignore Sirin's attack and directly target Sirin's Herrscher core, but for some reason, a powerful force seemed to compel her to react to the attack.

'Snapped'

With a clapping sound, the Third Herrscher knelt before Sirin in the blink of an eye. Her hands firmly gripped the blade of Sirin's longsword. At the same time, the lightning and high-energy lasers bombarded the imaginary barrier behind Sirin, causing large ripples, but ultimately failed to break through the barrier's defense.
