Xingtie: Can’t you just let me focus on completing the commissions?

Chapter 193: Fu Hua: "I can't do anything!"

"Now, right here, let's settle this once and for all, Sirin—!"

No longer hesitate,

Do not hesitate.

The situation had deteriorated to this point, and although she knew in her heart that she had let down the 'two people' in this body, she still had to launch an attack on them.

She couldn't allow the Herrscher to run rampant in this city of hundreds of millions of people.

especially,

This is China.

She had some important friends here.

Now, although I don't remember it very clearly, but...

She absolutely could not stand by and watch the land entrusted to her by those people suffer calamity.

"Yu Duchen, please help me one more time."

She slowly tightened her grip on the Feather Dust Blade, knowing that it was now the only power she could rely on.

Even if the price of this power is to erase all the memories in one's brain.

What can you do right now?

The Herrscher of the Void scoffed. She had no intention of fighting this guy who was about to meet his end. The situation was already clear: she only needed to keep letting her vessel fight, and her power would continue to erode her body and spirit.

Soon after,

This body will then be transformed into a form best suited to her control.

by that time……

The guy who challenged her was nothing more than an insect that she could crush with a flick of her wrist.

Sensing Xilin's intention to avoid battle, Fu Hua clenched her fists. If the opponent insisted on avoiding battle, she would not be able to use the full power of the Taixu Divine Essence to defeat her in one strike.

Even if she burns her own memories, she only has the strength for one last strike.

"Am I really powerless to do anything?"

Fu Hua closed her eyes in despair. Fragmented memories from the depths of her consciousness kept replaying: in the misty city, on Mount Taixu, in the snowfield, in the urban landscape… She had lived a long life, bidding farewell to so many people. So many people had entrusted their ideals and missions to her, and now…

She was so powerless.

so ridiculous.

Even the fighting spirit that had driven him to unleash a full-force punch at the Herrscher was completely shattered.

She had to consider the consequences of throwing that punch. If it could completely defeat the Herrscher of the Void, that would be fine, but if it couldn't, then...

She and Kiana will also lose their last line of defense.

but,

How long can this insurance last?

ten minutes?

Still ten hours?

In this Sky City, every single second, Kiana is fighting against that Herrscher consciousness.

She could only watch helplessly as the once energetic and lively girl was tormented by a series of blows, becoming numb and like a walking corpse.

"...Captain, what should I do?"

In a daze, she murmured unconsciously. Even though she had forgotten that person, a vivid red color still lingered deep within her memory—the blazing light that had once guided her forward.

"Do I need to teach you what to do, Hua?"

"When your reason cannot make a decision, then surrender the choice to your instincts."

Suddenly, a voice appeared in my ears, as if I were hallucinating.

She was slightly taken aback and hurriedly looked around, trying to catch a glimpse of the person who had spoken earlier.

"I don't recall ever teaching a complete idiot who only knows how to read the room, Hua."

……

Swinging the baseball bat,

Pulling the trigger,

Although the girl had lost the will to survive, perhaps due to her Kaslana bloodline, she instinctively responded when others were threatened.

She stared numbly at the Honkai Beast rushing towards her, glancing out of the corner of her eye at the several women who had already escaped several hundred meters away, silently estimating the distance and time in her mind.

"Let's stall for three more minutes."

Let's try our best to let those people run as far as possible.

She sighed silently to herself. If it weren't for the massive collapse she had caused, these people wouldn't have had to leave their homes and come here because of her.

"it's all my fault."

The guilt was so overwhelming that she could hardly breathe. Perhaps it was because her innate sense of justice was too strong. Now that she had borne this sin, she felt like a fanatic witnessing his god fall before him. It was a collapse of faith, and the pillar of her soul had completely crumbled.

"Let me buy them a little more time."

In the desolation of his heart, he was pleading with someone, hoping that if he could save one more person, the guilt in his heart would be lessened by even a little.

but,

Even so, the girl knew that this behavior was futile and meaningless.

Because the consequences of her actions extended beyond this street, causing widespread harm worldwide; countless people were injured and died because of her.

Compared to the countless sacrifices, what is the point of saving one or two people?

"Aunt Himeko, you shouldn't have saved me."

She silently raised her head and pulled the trigger at the Honkai Beast that was inches away, but the Honkai Beast's shell deflected the bullet, and at the same time, the Honkai Beast swung its hand and slammed it straight at her.

Almost instinctively,

She curled up, managing to recover the moment she was thrown back, but even so, she was still violently sent flying by the immense force of gravity, crashing into the wall.

In an instant, she even felt as if two or three of her ribs had broken, and many small pebbles had embedded themselves in her skin. A burning, stinging pain mixed with a dull ache emanating from within her body swept over all her senses.

She landed on the ground, coughed heavily, and choked on a mouthful of blood. Her gaze returned to the Honkai Beasts directly in front of her. The other two Honkai Beasts that she had tried to knock down had now recovered, and the three Honkai Beasts were now surrounding her.

"Is this the only way?"

As my vision began to blur, the Herrscher's laughter echoed in my mind again.

"Your playtime is over. My other half, it's time to return this body to its rightful owner."

"……Ah."

The girl coughed heavily twice, then suddenly burst into laughter.

"Returning things to their rightful owner? I don't understand. However, you and I are both murderers of Aunt Himeko. If I don't take you with me on this journey, I won't have the face to see Aunt Himeko again."

"Oh? Now that things have come to this, what else do you want to do?"

"This body... never belonged to you!"

The moment she finished speaking, a surge of power welled up within the girl's body once more. Her arches braced against the wall, and she suddenly lunged forward, charging again towards the three attacking Honkai Beasts.

This time,

Her goal was no longer to defeat the three Honkai Beasts.

But...

Turn them into weapons to deliver the final blow!

"Now, it's your turn to tear me apart."

With no fear left in her heart, the girl fixed her gaze on the Honkai Beast's long, sharp claws, ready to crash directly into them. She wanted her body to be completely torn apart by the Honkai Beast in the shortest possible time.

Just as her body was less than twenty centimeters away from the Honkai Beast's claws,

Suddenly,

A figure landed in front of her first.

A head of long, fiery red hair swayed in her line of sight.

The girl didn't even have time to pause before she collided with the figure. Then, in the next moment, she heard a familiar voice.

"Kiana."

"You failed today's practical test."

"Starting tomorrow, you'd better follow me and do your retake exam training properly."

……

Himeko...

teacher?

Kiana opened and closed her lips, and after a long while, her voice trembled as she whispered...

"it is good.".

Chapter 194: Without further ado, let's get straight to the part about repaying the debt of gratitude.

"Kiana, you failed your practical test."

"I don't recall ever teaching a complete idiot who only knows how to read the room, Hua."

"Starting tomorrow, follow me and do intensive training for your make-up exams."

"Starting tomorrow, let's get back into serious training."

Similar words, the same voice, from different people.

Kiana looked up in disbelief, took two steps back, and finally saw the figure standing before her.

More than one person,

It was two people.

"Himeko-sensei...there are two?"

Kiana's mind suddenly became extremely chaotic. In the instant her mind relaxed, the Herrscher of the Void did not hesitate to seize control of this body.

but,

The moment these two figures appeared on the battlefield

This means that she has no chance of struggling anymore.

"You can have a third one if you want, Paramecium."

A strange man's voice rang in her ears. Normally, she would probably be very angry to be called a paramecium, but at this moment, even this unfamiliar voice calling her felt so warm.

"Let's duel, Sirin—!"

As the man finished speaking, a sudden wave of sound swept through the alley, and a powerful 090-style melody began to play. Kiana, who had just completely lost her will to fight, was stimulated by this powerful music and even forcibly regained control of her body in a final burst of energy.

Within Kiana's body, the true Herrscher of the Void, at that very moment, was also swept up by this fighting spirit, and her consciousness directly detached from Kiana's body and lunged towards the man.

"A spirit? Give it to me."

Seeing the spirit emerge from Kiana's body, the man smiled with delight. Without hesitation, he grabbed the Herrscher of the Void and instantly absorbed her into his body.

"Spirit possession!!"

"Be one with me, A-Quan!!"

The Herrscher of the Void directly channeled into the body, and the experience of the Herrscher of the Void's "skills" quickly flowed into the mind. As the former six-core Herrscher, the Herrscher of the Void's consciousness retained some "knowledge" of the powers of other Herrschers.
