I am Möbius's sister.

Chapter 18 Judgment-level Honkai Beast Shesa

On the battlefield, tens of thousands of Honkai Beasts were being slaughtered by Sirin. As a Herrscher, a life form even more advanced than the Honkai Beasts, Sirin's killing power against them was undoubtedly extremely strong.

The wailing of the Honkai Beasts gradually thinned out, and their numbers were decreasing sharply. In contrast, the Honkai energy in Sirin's body was being consumed frantically. Fortunately, the Honkai energy in this area was abundant, and the Honkai energy absorbed and consumed offset each other, so the actual amount of Honkai energy consumed was not particularly large.

The act of teleporting a piece of land the size of a small mountain to a height of a thousand meters was quite strenuous for her, and it also consumed a lot of her Honkai energy.

After briefly sensing the remaining Honkai energy within her body, Sirin waved her hand gently, and the surrounding spatial portals closed one after another. The fragments of the Void Spear on the Honkai beast corpses on the ground gradually dissipated into the air.

She doesn't have much Honkai energy left, so she needs to save some in case of unforeseen circumstances.

After all, there is still one Judgment-level Honkai Beast that hasn't appeared yet and is still hiding in the shadows. She has basically cleared out all the Honkai Beasts here, but this guy still hasn't come out, which is really making her feel like she has a fishbone stuck in her throat.

Other lower-level Honkai Beasts pose little threat to her as a Herrscher, but higher-level Honkai Beasts like the Judgment-class are capable of posing a slight threat to a Herrscher. Of course, in a real fight, a Judgment-class Honkai Beast still cannot defeat a Herrscher.

As Sirin stood in the sky, she replenished her Honkai energy while surveying the devastated battlefield. The numerous Honkai beast corpses piled up here, forming a considerable Honkai source. If all the remains of these lower-level Honkai beasts were to be converted into Honkai energy, a small-scale Honkai event would likely erupt.

However, this accumulated Honkai energy also allowed Sirin to quickly recover her losses. The surrounding Honkai energy surged towards Sirin like a tide, and Sirin quickly absorbed all of it. When Sirin's Honkai energy recovered to more than 50%, Sirin still did not see Shesa appear.

Could it be that she's still in Changkong City and hasn't come out with the Honkai Beast tide? Sirin frowned, looked around again, and then turned to fly towards the camp of the Fire Moth. Since she hadn't found Shesa, she would go and meet up with Alicia first.

But at that moment, a powerful Honkai energy aura suddenly appeared behind Sirin. The Honkai energy reaction originated from the camp of the Fire Moth.

Sirin's heart tightened, and she quickly turned around to look. She saw that, at some point, the Judgment-class Honkai Beast Shesa had appeared in the camp of the Fire Moth.

Its enormous body was as tall as a skyscraper. Its upper body was humanoid, while its lower body was a thick snake tail. The thick and long snake tail was covered with hard scales. Its ferocious appearance was chilling, and piercing howls came from its mouth incessantly.

Beneath it, the filthy black mud churned and boiled, making one dizzy at first glance, as if one's soul was being polluted by it.

It roared and howled, sweeping everything on the ground with its huge snake tail. Its ferocious hands were raised high, and thunder roared in the sky, sending bolts of lightning crashing down to the ground.

Before it, the humans on the ground were like ants, and people kept losing their lives.

They tried to attack her, but no matter what they did, they couldn't leave a mark on her hard shell. Before long, many people died from the lightning summoned by Shesa or from her thick, long snake tail.

Unbeatable! Unstoppable! Faced with the fear of death, everyone's bodies trembled involuntarily. Although they were all determined warriors, human instincts still made them feel afraid.

Just then, a sweet shout rang out, a clear and melodious voice with a touch of playfulness.

"Now it's time for the beautiful girl to save the day~?" As this melodious voice fell, an arrow radiating a hazy pink glow shot towards the rampaging Shesa.

A violent explosion rang out, and a shocking wound appeared on Shesa's dark green abdomen. At the same time, Shesa's shrill screams echoed throughout the camp.

Alicia stood gracefully atop the tent with a smile on her face, holding a magnificent bow in her hand, the arrows of which were formed from Honkai energy.

After Shesa's attack was blocked, his attention turned to Alicia. His cold, serpentine eyes seemed to contain boundless rage, as if he was dissatisfied that the bloody feast had been stopped. Then, a thick bolt of lightning suddenly struck down, heading straight for the spot where Alicia was standing.

Alicia landed lightly on the ground. The lightning bolt struck the tent and instantly set it ablaze. The collapsing tent kicked up clouds of dust, and the rising flames illuminated Shesa's terrifying body and Alicia's smile.

At that moment, several Void Spears came flying through the air, seemingly trying to pierce Shesa's hideous body. However, Shesa, who had already sensed the danger, simply flicked his tail, and his thick, long snake tail knocked away all the incoming Void Spears.

Sirin has arrived here to support Alicia.

Seeing that Xilin was flying towards them, Shesa stopped causing trouble and sank into the black mud beneath it, seemingly preparing to escape.

"Want to leave? You can stay here!" Seeing this, Xilin sneered, reached out and grabbed, and a transparent barrier with light gold patterns appeared in the area where Shesa was, and everything inside the barrier stopped.

Spacetime imprisonment—this is the power of the Second Herrscher.

At this moment, Shesa's body had sunk by more than half, with the other half still exposed. Due to being trapped in a time-space prison, it was completely unable to move or even make a sound. No matter how much it struggled, it could not move an inch, and its consciousness seemed to have become sluggish.

However, while the spacetime imprisonment technique is useful, its duration is relatively short, but this period is sufficient for Sirin.

Sirin slightly raised her hand, and several Void Spears pierced towards Shesa's massive body. In the spacetime prison, only her attacks could be effective.

No matter how hard Shesa's outer shell was, it was as fragile as paper under the sharpness of the Void Spears. It only blocked for a short while before being broken. A total of six Void Spears pierced Shesa's chest. Then, Sirin grabbed and detonated the spatial core contained within the Void Spears.

As the spacetime confinement failed, Shesha's piercing wail echoed around. Its chest was a bloody mess. The close-range detonation of six spatial cores in a short period of time had seriously injured it. Although the wound was healing rapidly, it would not be fully healed in a short time. At this moment, Shesha's aura was slightly weak, completely unlike its previous vigor.

At that moment, Shesa let out a long roar, which triggered a raging thunderstorm in the sky. Dozens of lightning bolts, thicker than water buckets, struck Xilin. The lightning was incredibly dazzling, and the power it carried was like a tiger pouncing on its prey, as awe-inspiring as the might of the heavens.

Chapter Nineteen: That wretched Alicia!

Sirin was somewhat surprised by Shesa's counterattack. She hadn't expected Shesa to be able to fight back. She could only say that it was indeed a Judgment-class Honkai Beast. Although she wasn't prepared, Sirin's training over the past few days had played a very important role in dealing with the sudden counterattack.

In a very short time, the Imaginary Barrier appeared around Sirin, and at the same time, dozens of bolts of lightning obscured Sirin's petite figure, causing those around her to become apprehensive. Meanwhile, Alicia was not idle either, but continued to shoot several arrows at the extremely hideous wound on Shesa's chest.

Alicia's attack hit Shesa successfully, but Shesa did not attack Alicia at this moment. Instead, it struggled to burrow into the black mud beneath it, trying to escape. Even though it was not very intelligent, it knew that staying here would only lead to its death.

Therefore, even after taking several arrows from Alicia, Shesa did not stop its escape. However, just as it was about to sink into the black mud, a Void Spear pierced through the light barrier made of lightning and pierced straight into its body.

After enduring the attack, it successfully entered the black mud, which then moved towards Changkong City and disappeared from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.

A moment after Shesa left, Sirin also emerged from the dozens of lightning bolts. Surprisingly, the imaginary barrier surrounding her showed signs of cracking. Her brows furrowed slightly. She sensed the aura of a Herrscher within the dozens of lightning bolts, but it was rather faint.

This is why she was trapped by these dozens of lightning bolts for a short while, giving Shesa a chance to escape.

When the light curtain formed by lightning disappeared, Sirin landed on the ground. To show off, she did a very fancy landing, gracefully stepping down through the void with an arrogant expression on her face.

As soon as she landed on the ground, Alicia opened her arms and pounced on her. If she hadn't seen that it was Alicia, she would have almost thrown a Void Spear at her.

"Little Sirin~ You did a great job! I told you you could do it." Without waiting for a reply, Alicia picked Sirin up from the ground, spun her around, and wore a very happy smile on her face.

"What are you doing! Put me down right now!" Sirin glared at Alicia, her face flushed and her haughty expression instantly shattering.

Damn it! I was planning a grand, imposing, and elegant landing to show off my strength, but who would have thought Alicia would suddenly appear and completely ruin my image? That wretched Alicia! Put me down right now! Sirin's heart was screaming.

At this moment, Sirin struggled helplessly in Alicia's hands, but Alicia completely ignored Sirin's requests and even lifted her up higher.

Because she was afraid of hurting Alicia, Sirin did not use her Honkai energy or powers. So, although she was still half-activated with her Herrscher powers, no matter how much she struggled, she could not break free from Alicia's grasp.

The remaining warriors around them, who had initially felt fear and awe towards Sirin, saw her being held and lifted high in Alicia's arms without any resistance. Their fear and awe vanished with the sight of Sirin's imposing figure.

Some of the bolder girls even joined in, wanting to hug Xilin.

Looking at the girls around her who wanted to hug her, Sirin felt utterly hopeless. Damn it! It's all Alicia's fault! Her image is completely ruined!

Alicia understood what Sirin was thinking, so after putting Sirin down, she made up an excuse and ran away, leaving Sirin alone surrounded by a group of girls.

Although they had just experienced a great battle, humans always unconsciously feel happy when faced with cute things, especially after witnessing the death of their comrades in a battle, when they are filled with unparalleled sadness. Cute things can effectively alleviate their sadness, so these remaining warriors also developed great enthusiasm for Sirin.

This was quite a challenge for Celine, who doesn't enjoy socializing, and it took her a lot of effort to break free from the crowd.

After breaking free from the crowd, Sirin angrily went to find Alicia. The camp was large and should have been filled with tents, but due to the impact of the Honkai Beast tide and Shesa's rampage, it had become much emptier.

In this devastated place, there were shocking traces of blood and corpses everywhere, Honkai Beasts and humans... It was like a scene from the apocalypse.

As she walked, Sirin's mood sank, and she lost her temper. She could see a girl kneeling before the mangled corpse of another girl, weeping uncontrollably. She could see corpses trampled into a bloody mess. The smoke from the battlefield still lingered, and the flames on the ruins still flickered. The war was not over, or rather, this war was endless.

Human life is still far too fragile.

Stepping onto this scarred land, Sirin looked around, finally turning her gaze forward to Changkong City, the epicenter of the Third Collapse. This time, her eyes hardened; she knew that if she didn't want to see those she cherished lying dead on the ground, she had to end this Collapse.

She is neither a saint nor a hero, never has been. She is just doing what she believes is right, and she doesn't want to lose the people she cares about. The world is not a good place, so she will use her own hands to make it a better place!

To achieve all this, she needs even more power; she will ultimately face the Herrscher of the End. But she believes she can do it, just as Alicia said, 'Beautiful girls are invincible!'

Congratulations on completing the hidden storyline [Heart of Godhood]! You are rewarded with a Golden Treasure Chest.

[Note: While power is great, don't be greedy!]

The system's sudden notification sounded in her ears, startling Xilin. Hidden plot? She hadn't expected there to be such a thing.

While Sirin was still in a daze, a huge golden treasure chest appeared in front of her. The golden treasure chest was extremely gorgeous and was inlaid with many jewels.

Upon seeing the golden treasure chest, Sirin glanced around. It seemed no one else could see it, which was fine, since it would be troublesome if it were discovered.

Seeing that no one else could see the golden treasure chest, Sirin breathed a sigh of relief and turned her gaze back to the magnificent golden treasure chest in front of her. She was very curious about what was inside this huge treasure chest. Could it be something big?

Thinking this, Sirin excitedly rubbed her hands together, preparing to open the treasure chest.

What could be inside the treasure chest?

Chapter Twenty: Classic Fashionable Little Trash

'Ding-dong~'

The moment Sirin opened the golden treasure chest, the blinding light inside made her close her eyes, and at the same time, a system notification sounded in her ears.

[You have opened the golden treasure chest and obtained... a mysterious bracelet!]

This bracelet's abilities include: enhancing personal charm, maintaining youthfulness, significantly extending lifespan, and allowing for free customization of its appearance.

Mysterious…bracelet? Sirin froze on the spot. The dazzling light from the golden treasure chest in front of her had disappeared, and what was placed inside that enormous chest was not the big thing Sirin had imagined, but a simple bracelet made of an unknown metal, silver-white in color, without any decorations or patterns, just ordinary.

When Sirin picked up the bracelet, the golden treasure chest on the ground disappeared as if it had never existed.

I gave you this huge golden treasure chest, and this is what you give me? Although it can keep you young forever and extend your lifespan, it's completely useless to her!

After staring at the bracelet on her wrist for a long time, Celine finally put it on silently. Although the ability to stay young and increase lifespan was useless to her, the ability to freely change the appearance of the bracelet was of great help to her.

Just when she didn't know how to fool Alicia, she could finally enter the chat room in front of Alicia. It had been so long since she'd been in there, and she wondered what was going on with Kaiwen and Mei.

After adjusting the appearance of the bracelet on her wrist to match the one she had previously described to Alicia, Sirin nodded in satisfaction.

Although I didn't get anything of greater value, at least it didn't just sit in my inventory gathering dust.

After examining her bracelet for a while and making some minor modifications, Xilin opened the chat room and immediately tagged Kaiwen and Mei.

[[Silin]: @Kaine @Mei, are you there now? Alicia and I have arrived on the outskirts of Changkong City.]

Although the system did not warn her that the plot had failed, Xilin was still very uneasy. Time passed by, and Xilin stared nervously at the light screen in front of her, feeling as if she was eagerly waiting.

A moment later, a new message appeared in Xilin's eyes. It was a message from Kaiwen, followed by a message from Mei. Upon seeing this, the heavy weight that had been lifted from Xilin's heart finally lifted.

[Kevin]: I'm alright now. Although I was slightly injured, it's not a big problem. It's just that there are more and more monsters outside, and it's getting harder and harder to find food.

[Mei]: I'm alright here, but the food has spoiled quickly for some reason and is inedible. I'm preparing to leave the city center now; I have a gut feeling that it's becoming increasingly dangerous here.

[Cirin]: Can you tell me your current location?

Looking at the descriptions of Kaiwen and Mei's current situation, Xilin knew that they were in a difficult predicament. However, if she could get their coordinates, she could open a portal to go and save them.

[[Kaine]: I was looking for food a while ago and was chased by those monsters. I ended up in the shopping district and am currently hiding on the fourth floor of a large shopping mall.]

[Mei]: I'm still on the edge of the city center. I'm roughly in the business district, but I don't know exactly where. I haven't looked into it much. But across from me was a luxurious hotel, now just ruins. It's the only hotel around me that's completely destroyed.

[Sirin]: You all wait here. Alicia and I will be there to find you soon. Protect yourselves.

After silently noting down Kaiwen and Mei's descriptions of her location, Xilin gave the two a few instructions, then left the chat room, looked around, and ran towards some of the more intact tents.

Based solely on their descriptions, Sirin couldn't pinpoint their location, so she needed help from others. She needed to find Alicia to see if there was a map of Changkong City. If there was an instrument that could pinpoint their location accurately, it would be even better if she didn't have to sense the coordinates herself.
