Miss Surtr will ignite the world

Well, not counting last time, she hadn't even used her real skills yet.

But it doesn't matter now.

A dazzling electric light enveloped our vision.

Raiden Mei was prepared, head held high, feeling that she couldn't die such a pathetic death.

But what followed was completely different from what was expected.

The explosive lightning did not strike her.

With her head tilted to the side, and illuminated by the lightning, Raiden Mei could clearly see the extremely vigilant expression on Sirin's face. The lightning bolt that was about to be fired changed direction in an instant, heading straight for the space to the side.

Following the other person's gaze, Raiden Mei witnessed an unbelievable scene.

A silver meteor streaked across the night, tearing through the gale, dragging a shock that sent shivers down one's spine, passing through the writhing electric snakes, and piercing through Sirin's body at a speed faster than lightning, before stabbing into the ground and unleashing a bomb-like explosion.

Only then did Raiden Mei see the meteor clearly.

It was a magnificent silver sword, its silvery blade reflecting the moonlight. Even now, mixed with the dirt, its sharpness remained undiminished.

Without a doubt, she remembered the sword.

A red figure flashed in her mind, and then a questioning voice came from in front of Raiden Mei.

Did they escape?

Looking up again, she realized that someone else had taken the place where Xilin had just been standing.

A red-haired girl stood in front of her, holding a pink-haired rabbit-eared shrine maiden in her left hand and a black square box in her palm.

She sensed an aura similar to that of a Herrscher from that priestess.

Raiden Mei's tense body relaxed immediately; at least in terms of strength, she had considerable trust in the guy in front of her.

Surtr glanced around with a serious expression, sighed regretfully, bent down, put Yae Sakura down, put away his staff, and was about to ask Mei a question when he found that she had already fainted.

I went up and checked everything to make sure the other person was okay before I felt relieved.

As for the other one...

Isn't this Bronya, one of the greatest mathematicians in Honkai, who proved that 8 > 50000?

Although it's not obvious now, that small body contains infinite possibilities.

Of course, these things have nothing to do with the present. Can anyone tell her what happened here, why Bronya is here, why Kiana turned into Sirin again, and where Siegfried went?

She must have only been gone for about ten minutes, right?

Upon seeing the firelight in the base, she took down Yae Sakura in ten seconds, then spent another ten seconds finding the black box and putting the restless sword back inside.

She didn't want to put such a dangerous item in her backpack; she'd rather return it to where she came from.

Just as she was carrying Yae Sakura's "corpse" back, she saw Kiana laughing happily, preparing to give Mei and Bronya a free electrotherapy treatment.

After realizing she couldn't arrive before the enemy attacked, Miss Surtr threw her sword without hesitation.

Of course, it was the staff that was lost; the Holy Sword was too expensive, and if it were gone, there would be no one to blame but myself.

Anyway, with Avalon around, Miss Surtr's attack was aimed directly at splitting the opponent in two, but unfortunately, it missed.

The staff passed right through Sirin's body, probably using a skill similar to etherealization, and disappeared by the time she arrived.

There was a bloody rag left, which must have been cut off before the Herrscher went into the Hollowfication state, but this injury was no problem for a Herrscher at all.

Now we have absolutely no idea where she has gone.

As expected of the Herrscher of the Void, she runs incredibly fast.

……

the other side.

At the top of a building in Changkong City, the Queen, who was fleeing—no, temporarily retreating—fell out of a portal.

Panting, clutching her right abdomen, Xilin's face showed the pain of someone kicking a chair with their little finger.

"Damn it, that guy actually dared to hurt my body! I've decided, once I recover my strength, I'm going to tear that guy to pieces!"

Sirin hurled a vicious curse at Surtr, released her grip, and lowered her head.

The wound wasn't deep, and with the Herrscher's physical abilities, it had even begun to heal. But Sirin wasn't satisfied; when she possessed the Tranquility Gem, her recovery speed was much faster.

As expected, I still need to collect all the gems.

However, we need to increase our strength first.

She's still in terrible shape. Although it was a surprise attack, she was almost taken down in one blow. Most importantly, she didn't even see the attacker.

This was a huge blow to the Queen's confidence. Excluding the possibility that the other party might be stronger than her, it could only be attributed to her current state.

Although the Herrscher Core can connect to the imaginary space, providing the Herrscher with a continuous supply of Honkai energy, it cannot be replenished immediately in the same amount lost. The pipe is only so big; even if the total amount is large enough, recovery still takes time.

She was only using one ten-thousandth of her strength just now. Once she rests and returns to her peak, she will be able to suppress her opponent with just one hand.

Just you wait!

Sirin muttered to herself, then plopped down on the ground and began absorbing the Honkai energy around her.

The Third Honkai Impact: Chapter Twenty-Three - Still Too Young

As night fell, an uneasy silence permeated the ruins on the outskirts of Changkong City.

Damn it!

A gruff male voice rang out in the darkness. Siegfried looked at the chaotic scene and the three unconscious men, his face grim, especially after hearing Surtr's brief explanation.

Sirin, she's shown up again!

He shouldn't have left back then. No, if he hadn't stayed, maybe none of this would have happened.

Siegfried glanced at the unconscious Bronya on the ground, a feeling of resentment rising in his mind, but he quickly shook his head.

Ultimately, it was his fault for not protecting Kiana; why was he getting angry with a child?

“I’m going to find her; I must defeat her before she causes any more damage.”

He was very worried about his daughter, but at the same time, he was even more worried about Celine.

The scene of the Second Honkai Impact is still vivid in my mind. Sirin's escape is a huge hidden danger. A Herrscher with spatial abilities and hostility towards humans is lurking in the shadows, and the consequences are unimaginable.

We must find her before she regains more power or causes more destruction.

"But do you know where to look?"

Surtr's question made Siegfried stop in his tracks.

Yes, he had absolutely no idea where to look.

If spatial teleportation can't even be determined in a general direction, where should he go to look?

With a hint of irritation showing on his tense face, Siegfried scratched his head. If the doctors from Anti-Entropy were here, they might be able to help, but it was better not to send him.

"But we still have to go find her. Her strength hasn't recovered much yet, so even if she teleports, the distance won't be too far. If she wants to continue recovering her strength, there's a high chance she'll be in the city."

Siegfried scratched his head and shared his guess.

"Even so, there is still a large area to cover. If the other party is determined to hide, we will not be able to find them at all."

Surtr said calmly, bending down to pick up the piece of clothing on the ground that had been cut off by the holy sword and was stained with Sirin's blood.

Siegfried was about to say something more, but Surtr's words stopped him from speaking.

"Give me a little time, and I'll be able to find her."

"Can you find her?"

Siegfried instinctively asked a question in return.

"of course."

As she spoke, Surtr walked to a relatively clean open space to the side, extended her right hand, and then a golden cup that was dazzling and exuded a mysterious aura appeared in her hand.

"Will I be able to find her using this cup?"

Siegfried stared at the Holy Grail, unable to discern anything beyond its exquisite appearance.

But having had experience with sword sheaths before, he didn't make any hasty judgments.

"Well, finding her isn't difficult."

Since you have the other person's personal belongings, it would be easy to find out their location by performing a divination.

The more troublesome part is what happens after that.

"However, Sirin's spatial abilities are too troublesome. If she finds herself outmatched, she might teleport away directly. Going straight in might not be a good choice."

Whether it's fantasy or xuanhuan (a genre of Chinese fantasy), among all the works Surtr knows, spatial abilities are the most troublesome.

They appear and disappear unpredictably, able to fight or escape at will. Unless you have some specific methods, it's difficult to even touch the hem of their clothes.

"By the way, how did you defeat her before?"

Surtr asked, frankly, she couldn't understand how Sirin had lost the second time.

"Defeat her? Just go for it."

Siegfried responded with extremely concise language.

He naturally knew what Surtr was worried about. As someone who had fought the Herrscher of the Void twice, he knew her abilities better than anyone.

To be honest, he didn't have much experience with the opponent's spatial abilities. Sirin always preferred to fight head-on, and when it came to firepower, his Skyfire was second to none.

"...Is that so?"

Surtr once again realized that the Honkai's eye for choosing apostles wasn't very good. Using an ability so suited for guerrilla warfare to engage in head-on confrontations just showed how young and impulsive the kid was.

She suddenly wondered if the other person might come back on their own after recovering.

However, there's no way to be sure about these things.

If they were really that assertive, the other party wouldn't have run away this time.

"Let's be careful this time. I can become invisible, and I'll take you with me. The best-case scenario is to kill her in one hit, but if that doesn't work, I'll temporarily restrain her, and the attack will be up to you. You'll probably only have one chance."

Can it even become invisible?

Siegfried glanced at his seemingly all-powerful companion with surprise, pondered for a moment, and realized that this was indeed the safest method.

"I understand, but if possible, Kiana..."

"Don't worry, she's my friend, and I wouldn't want to kill a friend."

Surtr would never kill Kiana, but there's something I need to say first.

"By the way, as long as they don't die on the spot, I can save them. Just to be on the safe side, it's better not to hold back."

"oh oh."

After a moment of silence, Siegfried nodded.

"Next up are these three, we definitely can't leave them here."

Surtr looked at the three unconscious people. He knew he couldn't take them with him, but he wasn't comfortable leaving them there like that.

However, the solution came quickly.

"If you are willing to trust me, I can protect them while you are away."

The sound of a fox's cry reached her ears. The pink-haired shrine maiden rubbed the back of her head as she got up from the ground and spoke to Surtr.

Despite being controlled by Himeko, Yae Sakura was not unconscious. She knew that the person in front of her was the savior who had saved her from her suffering. Although the process was somewhat rough, it was out of necessity.

Through Higokumaru's spirit, she learned that the world is roughly 500 years in the future. Although she doesn't know exactly what happened, her benefactor seems to be in trouble.

Although she felt it would be difficult for the other party to trust someone of unknown origin, she still hoped to help them if possible.

Surprisingly.

"This is wonderful."

The girl in front of her happily agreed to her request, her pure eyes seemingly completely oblivious to the possibility that she might have ulterior motives.

"Then I'll leave it to you, Miss Shrine Maiden."

She had already examined the other person's body and found no strange bacterial residue.

With a pseudo-Herrscher present, their safety is certainly not a problem.
