Herrscher of Reason's Arknights

"Where? You'll see her. As for what she did, would an impartial judge like Inspector Chan accuse someone without any evidence? I didn't do anything."

That was all, entirely her own will.

She's the one who wants to save you.

What a touching story!

Unfortunately, sodium chloride showed absolutely no sign of being moved; in fact, it almost burst out laughing.

What a foolish family drama. If Talulah weren't a useful pawn and part of her plan, she wouldn't bother with these two.

"What do you want to do?"

Chen Huijie roared and deflected the black knight's lance that was being fired again with a single sword stroke.

"Hmm~ Interesting question. What do I want to do?"

The snow demon lightly touched her lips with her finger and said with great interest.

If I had to say something...

I want to save the world.

A malicious smile, arrogant eyes, and those ominous golden pupils held no falsehood whatsoever.

It was as if she were telling the truth...

Chapter 377 [Interlude]

This is a necessary sacrifice...

With a "click," the pocket watch snapped shut in his hand. At this point in time, those two must have already met.

With her eyes closed, Talulah leaned against the shadows in the corner of the wall, the shadows cast by her hair obscuring the girl's eyes.

If you can't bring yourself to do it, just say so. I can do it for you, but it's hard to say whether your sister will come out unscathed.

That's what the Snow Fairy said at the time.

Talulah agreed.

This was something she should have done, but at the last moment, she was the one who backed down.

This was clearly a necessary sacrifice.

She tried to convince herself that way... but still...

The hand gripping the pocket watch so tightly it turned white.

The time had come, and the sound of hurried footsteps outside the alley reached Talulah's ears.

The Rhodes Island people have arrived, and since she no longer needs to fight her own sister, she naturally wants to do what she can.

He slowly stepped out of the shadows and stood in front of the Rhodes Island group.

Following behind her were a group of Reunion Movement members dressed in white.

"Nice to meet you..."

She straightened her collar; the white collar blended seamlessly with her neat black dress, making her look like an aristocrat in a high-end clothing store.

No, she was originally from a noble family.

An exaggeratedly long sword was tucked into his waistband, with one hand resting lightly on the hilt, exuding both evil and nobility like a quintessential movie villain.

"...Everyone on Rhodes Island."

The dragon's vertical pupils held no warmth whatsoever.

"Tallulah?!"

The leaders of the Integration Movement are now standing before them.

Chen Huijie had disappeared, and just as they were about to go look for her, Talulah blocked their way.

·······················

"Humans are such interesting creatures. When I lie, everyone thinks I'm telling the truth, but now I'm telling the truth, and you don't believe a word of it."

As the smoke cleared, the queen, standing atop the lamp, remained as elegant as ever, as if the great battle had never occurred.

If it weren't for the streets that had become ruins beneath her feet.

In stark contrast to her was Chen Huijie, whose body was covered in wounds and whose clothes were stained with countless dust.

Her hand gripping the sword trembled uncontrollably, a tremor caused by extreme fatigue. If it weren't for the formidable enemy at hand, it wouldn't be impossible for Chen Huijie to collapse and faint.

She is using her mental strength to keep her body afloat.

"You really care about her that much? I already told you the answer; it was a decision she made entirely of her own volition."

Whether it's the Reunion Movement or the rebellion, it's all the result of her will, not something anyone interfered with. But you just won't believe it, you only think I'm the one who's sabotaging things.”

With a gentle wave of the hand, purple ripples instantly bloomed!

This thing was like a death knell; the moment Chen Huijie saw it bloom, she instinctively tried to dodge it.

What exactly is this? !

Special Originium Arts?

Or something else.

Chen Huijie is not a researcher specializing in Originium-related topics; she is just a police officer in the Guard Bureau.

However, that thing was completely beyond her comprehension.

It was like a gate connecting to the void, transmitting all the malice within.

The spear flew out with a sonic boom, and anyone who touched it died instantly!

"----boom!!"

"Ugh!"

She dodged the fatal attack, but the explosion caused by the black and white knight's lance hitting the pile of rubble created a hurricane that, mixed with countless flying stones, blew Chen Huijie away like a rag doll.

It was obvious that the opponent wasn't taking it seriously; a casual attack would have been enough to kill Chen Huijie countless times.

The reason Chen Huijie didn't die was simply because the other party hadn't yet decided to kill her.

It's like a cat playing with its prey, just pure fun.

To hold life in one's palm and toy with it at will.

This feeling is not good at all.

"Speaking of which, you don't even intend to go all out against me?"

Snow Fairy asked with a flippant smile, her slender finger pointing to the sharp blade in the unusually eye-catching red scabbard behind Chen Huijie's back.

Chen Huijie had two swords strapped to her back, one black and one red.

Chen Huijie had only drawn her black longsword and was struggling desperately.

"No need."

Chen Huijie said fiercely.

"Really? They are so similar."

What could be more pleasurable than the killing of one's own flesh and blood?

"You and Talulah are quite similar, but Talulah seems to be a very outstanding student. She has learned more and has more choices."

"Like becoming a terrorist?!"

“Sometimes, the means are just extraordinary choices for extraordinary times. It seems that our Inspector Chan still believes in love and peace. Can’t you see this world that is rotten to the core?”

That is no excuse for your evil deeds!

"Really? Then prove it. Prove that you're more suitable than me, for example..."

Let's start by just surviving!

The next moment, countless purple ripples unfolded, and the protruding weapons even blocked out the sunlight!

"Since you still believe I'm manipulating everything behind the scenes, then continue to believe that way, if you truly understand my thoughts. Then try to survive, then defeat me, make me step aside, and prove with your strength that you are more suitable than me..."

P.S.: Finally, the finale is almost here! So much going on at school, it's so annoying~

Chapter 378 [Peak Showdown]

"What, you've exhausted your power? Is that all?"

Flames burned fiercely on the longsword, raising the temperature of the surrounding air significantly.

The high temperature scorched the earth and burned everything around it.

It wasn't flames, but a conceptualized "burning" that roamed all around, a forbidden zone for the creatures that created it.

Neither Yelena's solid ice nor Amiya's weak Originium Arts could break through this forbidden zone and harm Talulah in the slightest.

Standing amidst the fiery hell, the hem of her black skirt fluttered in the scorching wind.

No one on Rhodes Island could get close to Talulah, and Talulah could expand her domain with just a flick of her finger, burning everything around her to ashes!

"You have nowhere to escape, Talulah. Such an attack is meaningless except for burning down the surrounding buildings. Such an attack cannot shake the entire Lungmen."

A cold female voice, and behind it, a huge and ferocious monster.

The monster behind Kal'tsit never made a move, but quietly watched Talulah's every action.

As her trump card, Kal'tsit doesn't act rashly; she prefers to resolve issues non-violently.

If this option really exists.

The text describes Talulah's current situation. She does possess great power, but this power is not enough to change the status quo. She can keep people at bay, but she cannot escape the encirclement.

The Guard Bureau personnel had arrived from all sides, along with Rhodes Island operators. Once Talulah's stamina was exhausted, it was all over.

She's just stalling for time.

It looked impressive, but Talulah's energy was rapidly depleting, and the Reunion Movement members around her couldn't offer much help.

"As expected of someone from out of town, he's quite the smooth talker."

Holding her sword, Talulah retorted sarcastically.

However, the woman was right.

Talulah felt her hands trembling, but the high temperature distorted the light, making the flaw difficult to spot.

The more powerful the Originium Arts, the more energy it consumes.

With every gain comes a loss, which is why Talulah usually prefers to use a sword rather than Originium Arts.

She excels at explosive bursts of energy, but not at sustaining them.

The thought that recklessly unleashing Originium Arts would only cause him pain by increasing the Originium infection rate, and would also accelerate the loss of physical strength.

She's just stalling for time, waiting for the Snow Fairy to appear.

However, the enormous monster seemed to finally be ready to strike.

"Doctor Kelsey?"

"Sometimes, nonviolence cannot solve problems, and some things must be resolved quickly."

Kal'tsit simply put her hands in her coat pockets and said indifferently.

"Mon3tr, suppress her."

The next moment, the enormous monster suddenly came to life!

“……&*&*……&*——————!!!!”

An incomprehensible roar, a sound that the human ear cannot fully discern, came from this monster that seemed to come from an ancient and terrifying legend.

A black body, with eerie green energy emanating from it, and a jaw that floats there without being connected to the body, yet seems to be growing on it, twisted and bizarre.

"Qi!"

The monster charged like a cannonball, and although it had no legs, it could float in mid-air using principles she couldn't comprehend!

Their physical strength was almost gone, but the Drakians wielding longswords were not lambs to the slaughter!

The longsword has been sheathed again.
