I am Möbius's sister.

This was the first time Sirin had faced such a terrifying thing. The clone containing part of the laws and consciousness of the Honkai will had already crossed the threshold of godhood, and its power shocked Sirin immensely.

[Warning! The World Pillar has arrived! Global collapse energy is rising rapidly. Destroy the World Pillar as soon as possible! Destroy the World Pillar as soon as possible!]

Chapter 174 Usurpation

The piercing alarm from the system in her mind made Sirin frown.

This Honkai Will really knows how to seize any opportunity, trying to crush her as soon as it gets the chance. What grudge could they possibly have against her? Is it really necessary to go to such lengths?

Seeing the World Pillar that was halfway down in the distance, Sirin didn't hesitate at all and threw all the items that might pose a threat to it onto it. At this critical moment of life and death, there was no room for holding back.

The previously acquired item, Gungnir, was completely useless against the World Pillar, turning into specks of light and dissipating without even breaking through its defenses. However, this was still within Sirin's expectations. The real weapon of mass destruction was yet to come, namely the core that had destroyed the world, which Sirin had just drawn a few days ago. She hadn't even had a chance to warm it up before she was about to use it.

Of course, in order to cause as much damage as possible to the pillar of the world, Sirin also used the large amount of Honkai energy accumulated here and the pseudo-Herrscher core to carry out an epic detonation.

As a light as bright as a star's demise illuminated the area, the entire city was destroyed by the explosion of the items thrown by Sirin and the Honkai energy. Sirin herself, of course, activated her teleportation ability and fled the moment the Honkai energy was detonated.

However, the power of the explosion exceeded Sirin's expectations. Not only was the entire city destroyed, but even some surrounding areas that had already been destroyed were also affected by the explosion. Sirin's teleportation distance was too short, and she was instantly affected.

The terrain here was transformed into a basin, and even space itself underwent extremely intense distortion and tearing. Due to the special properties of the explosives, the space in this area was directly torn open, creating a passage to the imaginary space and the quantum sea.

The two opposing forces began to entangle themselves the moment they met, and the scene became incredibly chaotic.

"Oh my... this power is way too much..." Looking at the scene before her, which resembled the end of the world, Sirin felt her scalp tingle.

The rocks melted into lava that flowed across the land. Quantum monsters and Honkai Beasts poured out from the rifts leading to the Sea of ​​Quanta and the rifts in the Imaginary Space. These colossal creatures were swallowed up by the lava flowing across the ground the moment they landed.

The only ones still alive are those flying monsters.

In the distance, two-thirds of the world pillar was destroyed, and the remaining third was teetering on the brink of collapse, appearing to be severely damaged. However, it was somewhat regrettable that Sirin did not succeed in preventing His descent. Even though His power would be greatly reduced if He were to force His descent, He still did so.

Taking a deep breath, the scorching air was inhaled by Sirin and then broken down. Due to Sirin's special body, she was not harmed at all even in such an extreme environment.

Looking at the World Pillar suspended high in the air in the distance, Sirin gave herself a mental pep talk. Although the World Pillar, whose strength had been greatly reduced, still possessed power surpassing hers and was rapidly recovering its lost power by absorbing the surrounding Honkai energy, at least for the time being, the gap between the two would not be so large.

In other words, if she seizes this opportunity, she still has a chance to win!

Having made her decision, Sirin's figure disappeared from where she stood, and then she appeared above the World Pillar. The intense aura of the imaginary number felt somewhat familiar to Sirin, similar to her own authority.

However, she didn't think much about it at the moment. Instead, she pushed her power to the limit and condensed an incredibly complex and massive imaginary object, which she then hurled towards the pillar of the world.

This colossal entity, capable of blotting out the sky, collided with the pillars of the world. Before this imaginary creation, even the pillars of the world appeared incredibly small.

However, this time the enormous did not shake the insignificant; the imaginary creations created by Sirin were being devoured and absorbed by the pillars of the world at an astonishing speed.

How could this be! Sirin stared wide-eyed at what was happening before her eyes in disbelief. The world pillar that had devoured the imaginary creation had already recovered some of its strength, and the situation suddenly became urgent. This made Sirin regret her previous actions.

Unleash your ultimate move for a moment of fun, but if it misses, you're doomed.

However, the most important thing now is not to regret, but to find the cause as quickly as possible and to guard against attacks from the world's pillars.

After the world pillars devoured the imaginary creations, hundreds and thousands of beams of light, large and small, emerged from the ground, each radiating an incomparably terrifying aura of destruction. Wherever they passed, whether friend or foe, whether quantum monsters or Honkai beasts, they were all pierced and reduced to ashes.

The dense beams of light made Sirin very uncomfortable; if she touched even the slightest spot, the point of contact would be instantly reduced to ashes. If she didn't sever her tail to escape, this effect would spread.

This ability is really too troublesome. Although Sirin can rebuild her body with enough Honkai energy, it will also consume her power. If her power is exhausted, then it will be really over.

Therefore, she had to find a way to break the deadlock.

However, the world's pillars wouldn't allow Sirin to think in peace. A barrage of attacks followed, their purpose not to kill Sirin but to distract her.

After dodging several attacks, the system's voice suddenly rang in her ears.

The counterattack plan has been finalized. This world pillar is directly connected to the Honkai Will, so you can use your authority to usurp the power of the Honkai Will contained within the world pillar, although the success rate is infinitely close to zero.

You can also use items to take a desperate gamble, but due to the current special environment, the success rate is one in a thousand. If you teleport away from this place, the success rate will increase to one hundred percent.

The system's seemingly pointless plan left Xilin speechless for a moment, meaning that no matter how hard she struggled, it would be in vain.

Having narrowly escaped another attack, Sirin prepared to fully unleash her powers to seize the authority contained within the pillar of the world, as outlined in the system's plan.

As for using that die, Sirin doesn't plan to use it so soon; it should be her last trump card. Besides, to use it successfully, she'd need to teleport directly outside this area, which would make getting close to the World Pillar much more difficult.

So there's only one answer: she's going to gamble on that probability that's infinitely close to zero.

With her instincts and self-control, Sirin pushed her powers to the limit in a very short time and withstood several attacks.

Despite the increased intensity of the World Pillar's attacks, they were rendered ineffective in the face of Sirin's power.

Meanwhile, Sirin took this opportunity to quickly move closer to the world's pillar.

The two different forces collided, and due to excessive use of her power, Xilin's body was covered in cracks, which looked shocking.

Chapter 175 The Death of Alicia

At first, Sirin had the upper hand in the contest of power, but she soon discovered why the system's odds of winning were infinitely close to zero. If her power was a lake, then the power of the world's pillar was equivalent to an ocean.

Even though the lake initially had the upper hand, it would eventually be exhausted by the vastness of the sea, and the situation quickly took a sharp turn for the worse, with Sirin's powers even at risk of being plundered.

Fortunately, Sirin discovered the danger in time and immediately stopped the fight, quickly distancing herself from the World Pillar.

Looking at the World Pillar not far away, Sirin couldn't help but feel unwilling. Did she really have no chance of winning? If even she couldn't defeat the World Pillar, then human civilization would really be doomed.

Just as Sirin was anxiously searching for a solution, a dazzling arrow shot straight at the World Pillar. The arrow exploded the moment it hit the World Pillar, and Sirin could clearly feel that the power of the World Pillar was weakened by this attack.

The only question is... where did this attack come from?

"Hi~ Sirin, did you miss me?" A familiar voice rang in Sirin's ears, making her freeze in shock. Impossible! This can't be! How could it be her!

Sirin turned around and saw Alicia waving at her with a gentle smile. Alicia was wearing a white veil and a gorgeous dress, looking incredibly beautiful. This beauty seemed otherworldly; Alicia seemed to symbolize all the beauty in the world.

"You are... a Herrscher?" Although Sirin thought it was impossible, Alicia was indeed radiating the aura of a Herrscher, so it was clear that Alicia was a Herrscher.

But why? Why is she a Herrscher, and appears to be a Herrscher just like her, not controlled by the Honkai will? She's because of the system, but what about Alicia? How did she manage that?

And why hadn't she discovered Alicia's true identity before? Why hadn't she sensed Alicia's Herrscher reaction before? All of this made Sirin very concerned. These questions left Sirin speechless with surprise. She wanted to ask, but Alicia interrupted her.

"Shh, I know you're confused and have a lot of questions for me, but now's not the time. I'll tell you when we have the chance. Right now, the most important thing is to deal with this big guy."

Sirin was silent for a moment and then nodded. Although she did have many questions for Alicia, as Alicia said, now was not the time to ask questions.

After a brief exchange, Alicia fired several more arrows at the World Pillar. Each arrow instantly pierced the World Pillar's defenses and exploded on its body.

Sirin also changed her strategy, switching from taking the initiative to attacking to assisting Alicia in attacking. Although her power could not compare with that of the World Pillars, it was still able to offset a large part of the World Pillars' attacks and defenses. With Sirin on the scene to assist, Alicia had an excellent output environment.

Because Alicia's arrival reduced the pressure on Sirin considerably, she summoned Little Bella and Little Sirin. The combined buffs on the two dolls instantly increased their efficiency.

Although Alicia and Sirin rarely cooperate in battles like this, they have an inexplicable tacit understanding, and their combined efforts are able to suppress the pillars of the world.

The relentless attacks gradually weakened the World Pillar's aura, making it seem as if it would soon be defeated. However, unexpectedly, the World Pillar shattered into thousands of cubes, which surged towards Alicia, completely ignoring Sirin as if they hadn't noticed her at all.

Even though hundreds of cubes were purified by Sirin's power in an instant, there were still many cubes that Sirin could not purify.

Alicia seemed to have noticed the abnormality of the cube, and calmly dodged its pursuit while fighting and retreating, narrowly missing it several times.

Each explosion of the dazzling arrows takes away dozens of cubes, but there are still too many of them, and some continue to split into smaller cubes.

If someone with trypophobia saw these densely packed cubes, they'd probably end up in the intensive care unit. Even though Sirin and Alicia kept reducing their numbers, the cubes would double again the next moment. Under such a dense onslaught, even Alicia, who was good at dodging, still got grazed by these cubes.

The moment Alicia's arm made contact with the cube, that small portion of the cube instantly etherealized and merged into Alicia's body.

The next moment, Alicia's body froze, causing even more cubes to collide with her. These cubes didn't seem to cause Alicia any harm, but her expression grew increasingly grim.

She stopped attacking and began to move closer to Sirin.

Before Sirin could understand what was happening, Alicia bumped into her, and then many cubes merged directly into their bodies.

[Warning! Virus invasion detected, attempting to possess! Powerful virus removal initiation! Virus removal in progress... Virus removal successful!]

The system alarm in her ear made Sirin understand everything. It turned out that the Honkai Will, seeing that it might not be able to win, resorted to underhanded tactics and created a virus. If she hadn't had the system, she probably would have been infected just now.

While Sirin was still in a daze, Alicia, leaning against her, said weakly, "Kill me..."

"Huh?" Upon hearing this, Sirin was stunned. She hadn't expected that Alicia would ask her to kill her.

Seemingly seeing that Sirin was somewhat confused, Alicia repeated, "I am not strong enough to resist His corruption. In order to prevent me from becoming His host, please kill me and take my Herrscher core. Only you can do this."

Seeing Alicia's resolute expression, Sirin was torn with inner turmoil.

At that moment, Alicia, who was leaning against Sirin's chest, suddenly frowned in pain.

[Are you really going to kill yourself?]

The voice of the Honkai Will echoed in Alicia's ears, but Alicia ignored it and continued to say to Sirin, "Take my core."

[Do you know that if you die, there is no possibility of resurrection, and no body is suitable for your soul?]

"Sirin, accept my core." Alicia placed Sirin's hand on her heart.

Chapter 176 Destroying the Pillars of the World

Seeing Alicia still smiling, Sirin closed her eyes in anguish and took away the core from Alicia's body.

The moment she lost her core, Alicia collapsed into Sirin's arms, utterly weakened.

I should have destroyed you back then.

Hearing the words of the Honkai Will in her ear, Alicia still did not answer Him. She simply said softly to Sirin, "I'm sorry, Sirin, for making you make such a difficult choice. I still have so much to say to you, but unfortunately I can't. Use my power to create a new future! My soul will always be with you in the Herrscher Core."

After speaking, Alicia transformed into flying petals and disappeared into the world, while Sirin held a glittering golden crystal in her hand, which was Alicia's Herrscher Core.

Due to Alicia's self-sacrifice, the small cubes that had invaded Alicia's body had to reappear and recombine into a miniature version of the World Pillars.

[The core of the Primordial Herrscher has been detected. Its power is being analyzed. This power is extremely strong. After absorbing the power, the host can reverse-absorb the power of the Honkai will by competing with the power of the pillars of the world.]

"Phew." After carefully storing Alicia's Herrscher Core, Sirin stared intently at the World Pillar floating in mid-air not far away.

Feeling the power surging within her body, Sirin moved closer to the World Pillar once more, but this time the World Pillar was retreating.

[Actually, we don't need to fight to the death like this.]

"roll!!!"

[Don't you want to resurrect Alicia? I can create a body for her.]

"Get lost!" Sirin reached out and grabbed the entire pillar of the world with a giant hand constructed of imaginary power.

[Analyzing... Engaging in a power struggle with the opponent... Successful... Seizing control of the Imaginary Tree's authority...]

[This is impossible! Who are you?]

"Nothing is impossible. Isn't it a little too late to regret it now?"
