I, the anti-superman, have hacked into the chat group.

Bronya understood that she absolutely could not allow the Black Lantern Ring to resurrect Wendy; if an immortal Herrscher were to be born, the battle would collapse instantly.

"Rideron, the heavy-duty bunny!"

Following the command, the Heavy Bunny instantly transformed into a motorcycle in mid-air. Bronya rode it at full power, blue flames shooting out of the thrusters, and it shot off with a whoosh.

The power of the Herrscher of Reason allows Bronya to create runways while traveling in the air. Her current speed is simply too fast. The rocket boosters on the back of her motorcycle transform her into a ghostly fire girl. Only a runway with this special feature can allow her to accelerate without restraint.

Sensing the target's movement, the black light ring followed closely behind, also chasing Bronya at an extremely high speed.

This chase was a matter of life and death, but she would get tired, while the Black Lantern Ring would not. Bronya could only accelerate at full speed to try and delay the Black Lantern Ring from catching up with her.

The runway stretched into the distance, and Bronya, with the Black Lantern Ring, moved away from the battlefield. As soon as she left, the barrage of artillery fire could no longer be sustained.

The Black Lantern Corpse instantly regenerated and continued its attack with full force, quickly shifting the tide of the battle in Black Lantern's favor.

The students of St. Freya Academy were not mature enough; they were not ready for the battlefield, and casualties soon followed.

The dead will rise up the next moment and become black-light zombies, mercilessly killing their comrades who were just fighting side by side.

Theresa was extremely anxious. These were all her precious students, yet they were being deprived of even the right to peace after death. How could she not be worried?

"Damn it, all Valkyries below Rank B, retreat to the rear! They are not allowed to join the battle until the event is over!"

Theresa gave the order to most of the students to retreat. Although it was a bit harsh to say it, keeping them there would only hinder their progress.

Then, Theresa, carrying a huge cross, jumped into the battlefield.

She seemed to use the cross as a warhammer, capable of crushing a large number of enemies with a single swing. After most of the students retreated, the gaps in their battle positions had to be filled. Only Theresa had this ability. She could be considered an S-class Valkyrie, and although she was short, she was still quite powerful.

Just as she was about to show off her skills, a spear made of Honkai energy suddenly shot towards her.

Theresa used the cross as a shield and narrowly blocked the attack, but when she saw the style of the long hair, she couldn't be happy at all: "Could this be..."

"Hello, little ant, we meet again after a nap!"

Theresa looked up at the sky, where a girl with purple hair and golden eyes was floating.

"Second Herrscher, did these Black Lantern Rings also revive you?"

"Oh right, but why do you look like this when we meet again? Didn't you say you were going to save me? You really are just a hypocrite. Death is the best end for you."

Theresa said seriously, "I did tell Sirin that I wanted to save her, but you are different. You are just a puppet controlled by the ring, not the real Sirin at all."

"That's right, you're a fake!" "Kiana, calm down!"

Theresa's words resonated with someone, who looked in that direction and saw Kiana with a haughty expression, and Mei pulling her arm to try and pull her back.

Chapter 149 The Herrscher in One Body

"Idiots, didn't I tell you to retreat immediately?!" Theresa shouted angrily.

This is not the time to be reckless. Making a sound now would only attract the attention of Black Lantern Sirin and put yourself in danger, and would serve no purpose whatsoever. Moreover, because of the existence of the Black Lantern Ring, dying would turn you into a Black Lantern Corpse and cause trouble for others.

"Shut up, you ant. Don't think that just because your words pleased me, you can treat me like this."

Kiana ignored Raiden Mei, who was trying her best to pull her along, and walked forward step by step.

At that moment, Theresa noticed. Kiana's eyes had somehow transformed into golden cross-shaped pupils, just like Sirin's.

“Kiana…you…” Theresa had a bad feeling.

"Ah, Auntie, what's wrong with me?" Kiana blinked in confusion, her pupils turning blue again.

Witnessing this scene, Black Lantern Sirin laughed so hard she almost fell over. She mocked, "Hahaha, my scum, look at you now, your mind has been bound by an ant. I don't even want to admit you're a part of me anymore."

Kiana slapped her head hard and said sternly, "Shut up! I am the real Sirin, you corpse who came from who-knows-where, stop talking nonsense and give me back my core!"

Kiana raised her hand and launched a quasi-space spear, while Black Lantern Sirin retaliated with the same move.

Two attacks with the same spatial properties collided, simultaneously creating two spatial rifts. They intertwined and canceled each other out, eventually disappearing into nothingness.

“Very good, keep this anger going, so I can be even more satisfied after I take back my power and your heart,” said Black Lantern Sirin.

She spread her arms, unleashing even more powerful spatial abilities. Countless purple portals opened behind her, and then a large number of white monsters crawled out from them.

Those were the Honkai Beasts summoned by Sirin Black Lantern. The most eye-catching one was a giant dragon nearly 200 meters long, the dragon-shaped Honkai Beast Benares, Sirin's companion Honkai Beast when she became a Herrscher, and also her closest partner.

Kiana scoffed, "Hmph, thanks for helping me summon my familiars, but you don't actually think they'll listen to an imposter like you, do you?"

“Bella, come over here,” Kiana said to Benares.

At the same time, Black Lantern Sirin also spoke up: "Bella, kill her."

Benares was confused. Its enormous body looked left and right, and its lack of intelligence made it really hard for it to tell which one was its true master.

If instinct were to guide her, it would conclude that both sides belong to its true queen, and the familiar spatial authority should be impossible to fake, so Bella didn't know what to do.

The Queen, who now looks more like the original, is asked to eliminate the other Queen, but it can't make up its mind because both are equally dear to it.

In the darkness, Sirin looked at Benares, and in her eyes, Bella's body began to turn purple, which represented love.

“Honkai Beasts are all emotionless, but you seem to be different.” Black Lantern Sirin conjured a Void Spear and continued, “That’s perfect. Since you can’t offer any help, then offer me your heart.”

The Void Spear pierced Benares's body. It stood still and let out a painful roar. Its enormous size made it not so easy to die, and it still retained its fighting ability, but it just stood there without making any resistance.

Kiana frowned. She remained silent, realizing something was amiss. She should have felt angry or sad, but she didn't.

She was simply upset that Benares hadn't stood by her side decisively, as if she lacked that kind of emotion; she remembered the past but couldn't empathize with the warmer parts of it.

A tear slid down Kiana's cheek; it was a blue eye.

"Damn it, K423, can't you just leave me alone?!"

"Who are you? Why are you inside my body? And why do I feel heartbroken about what happened to that Honkai Beast?"

Kiana started talking to herself.

"Never mind that. Didn't you see that imposter standing there? Or do you want her to kill everyone around her?"

"Of course not!"

"Then don't resist, just surrender your body to my control."

“She’s not a good person, so what about you? What do you want to do? I can sense that you’re full of violence and destruction.”

Kiana's occasional bursts of intelligence didn't falter at crucial moments; giving away her body was easy, but getting it back was difficult: "This is my body, I should have control over it."

The Herald's personality was very angry but helpless.

The situation was urgent, and there was no time for her to continue fighting for the body. She had also heard Bronya's words that those who were killed would become puppets of the Black Ring, just like the imposter in front of her. She didn't want to become that kind of inhuman, ghostly creature.

Left with no other option, the Herrscher personality had to compromise, saying, "Just this once."

She granted Kiana half of the Herrscher's power.

With her personality unified, the power of this body was finally fully unleashed. Kiana's white hair grew longer and spread out, and her clothes changed to a domineering style, with four super long skirts that seemed to symbolize power.

The key is her eyes, one gold and one blue, indicating that two personalities are simultaneously controlling her body.

"Is this my power? It's too strong!" "Shut up, you idiot."

The two Herrschers of the Void, now one, have descended!

Benares' previous dilemma was unnecessary, because neither side was its true queen.

Sirin the Black Lantern was created by the power of the Black Lantern Ring. The Black Lantern's resurrection ability is extremely powerful; even if your soul is right next to you, it can forcibly revive your corpse.

As for the soul, if it exists, it is imprisoned in the corpse; if it doesn't, it doesn't matter, and it can still move freely.

On the other hand, Kiana with blue eyes and gold eyes are merely continuations of Sirin's personality, not Sirin herself.

Therefore, Bella doesn't need to objectively distinguish between the two as real and fake; the key is how it thinks and which of the two Celine it prefers as its master.

The answer to this question came when Kiana pulled the Void Spear from its body, stroked its head, and called its name.

Bella roared and stood in opposition to Black Lantern Sirin, along with the remaining Honkai Beasts.

"How about it, you imposter? Even if you surrender now, I won't let you go."

“Surrender? What are you talking about?” Black Lantern Sirin said. “You are the ones destined to die, aren’t you?”

Black Lantern Sirin raised her hand and killed a Honkai Beast, then a Black Lantern Ring flew over and revived it.

Honkai Beasts have no emotions, so the Black Lantern Ring did not automatically select them as targets, but that does not mean it cannot control them.

Chapter 150 The Opportunity Lies Not Here

After leaving Durandal behind at Schicksal, Karl began flying toward St. Freya Academy, where Bronya also sought his help.

【Metal Gear: Bronya】: Superman, there's a Black Lantern Ring that wants to revive the Lust Gem on Bronya. Bronya is about to collapse. Where are you right now?

[Superman]: Hang in there, I can hear your motorcycle, I'll be there soon.

Karl sped up and arrived on the runway before the Black Lantern Ring could catch up with Bronya, intercepting her.

He was already very skilled at grabbing the Light Ring, a skill he honed while grabbing the Divine Ring on Earth-3. While he wouldn't say he was 100% accurate, he was at least almost certain of success.

After Bronya sensed the Blacklight Ring stop, she drove her motorcycle back and asked with some concern, "Superman, is it okay for you to touch it directly like that?"

“Don’t worry, I’m alive,” Karl said.

The Black Lantern Ring has absolute control over the dead, but Carl is a living person and has not experienced death like a real Superman, so the Black Lantern Ring will not use him as a host.

Of course, this is on the premise that Carl doesn't actively put on the Black Lantern Ring, which would be equivalent to establishing a connection with the Black Lantern Ring himself.

"We're going to St. Freya Academy now to deal with the Black Lantern Corpses there."

Karl was about to fly away when Bronya called him back.

"Wait, Superman, do you really have a way to deal with them? I mean, a way to eliminate them once and for all or imprison them forever."

Carl paused for a moment, then said, "No."

He could throw the Black Lantern Corpses into the star core, which wouldn't be much different from annihilating them, but that would be too time-consuming, taking nearly 20 minutes for one round trip. Karl couldn't possibly take all the Black Lantern Corpses away at once; if it took hundreds or thousands of round trips, the civilization would have been destroyed long ago.

Most importantly, the Black Lantern Ring is the real deal, and new Black Lantern Rings are constantly arriving in this universe. When Carl leaves, they will create new Black Lantern Corpses. Carl may be fine in the end, but everyone else will definitely die. There must be a way to destroy the Black Lantern Rings.

Bronya said, "Based on the information from the comics, there are three ways to destroy the Black Lantern Ring."

"First, make Superman the Supreme wear the Dark Light Ring."

"Second, the mixing of green light with other colored lights."

"Third, the white light represents life."
