Honkai Impact 3rd, Paradise Typewriter isn't for making this kind of game.

"Cough cough cough, uh... my consciousness!!!"

A series of sharp pains surged through her consciousness, causing the Herrscher of Dominion to collapse on the spot, panting heavily.

Chapter 464 The Herald of Life and Death

Even the "mob" around her, which she had previously been able to control skillfully, were forced to cease their actions and enter a brief state of hibernation, just like machines that had been de-energized, once they lost her control.

The opponent's troublesome ability made the Herrscher of Domination instinctively sense a hint of a natural enemy.

"What kind of ability is this?"

"The Herrscher of Domination asked in a low voice, her voice filled with confusion. It was somewhat like the Herrscher of Death's power, but there were also some essential differences, although she didn't think Seele would tell her on her own initiative."

"This is the power I received on the other side of the sea, in a country where the living and the dead are reincarnated."

"The Herald of Life and Death possesses the ability to create and decay. Unlike the Herald of Death, perhaps influenced by the Sea of ​​Quanta, the power of decay can penetrate the puppet and act directly on the soul."

Seele answered calmly.

Seele's words silenced the Herrscher of Domination. She now understood that even if she fused with the power of corruption and became a string of data life, the opponent's attack would still directly affect her physical body. This was probably why she couldn't control the puppet again earlier.

This...this is practically my nemesis.

"Heh, Seele, you're really kind-hearted. After explaining all this to me, aren't you afraid I'll crack your ability?"

Seele calmly shook her head and even put the scythe behind her back.

In a sense, the power of the Herrscher of Life and Death that she wields is very much in control of the Herrscher of Domination. The opponent's doll body is merely a vessel to carry consciousness, but she can forcibly extract the soul that the opponent attaches to the doll body into her scythe.

"You are no match for me now. Admit defeat, Herrscher of Domination, and then go and apologize to Bronya properly."

"Hmph, stop being so smug. There's no Herrscher power that I can't take away. Don't forget, I am the Herrscher of Domination, I can do anything! I'm just a Herrscher born from the Sea of ​​Quanta."

Although the Herrscher of Domination was kneeling on the spot, she still clenched her hands and spoke these words to Seele with great determination.

The Herrscher of Dominion slowly raised her hand...

She reached out towards Seele, who was wearing a pure white dress, with a creature resembling a flower spirit seemingly floating beside her.

A barely perceptible thread led directly to the source of the Herrscher of Life and Death's power, but Seele already knew the Herrscher's power inside and out, and it was undoubtedly a pipe dream for her to take it away in her current state.

The Herrscher of Domination was naturally aware of the limitations of her own powers; stealing powers was essentially a contest of strength and power with the other party.

If the other party is as resolute in heart as Raiden Mei was before, and has mastered all the powers of the Herrscher, then she indeed cannot take it away. However, the Herrscher of Domination absolutely does not believe that Seele can reach the same level and realm as Raiden Mei.

All she needs to do is find a weakness, break down the opponent's psychological defenses, and take advantage of the opening...

Her thoughts flowed like a rushing river.

Suddenly, like a bolt of lightning ripped through the sky, a brilliant idea flashed through the mind of the Herrscher of the Void.

【Got it~】

The Herrscher wiped away the sweat that hadn't even appeared on her forehead and stood up as if nothing had happened. However, her body was still trembling instinctively. Only she knew that those few slashes from the other party had almost caused her to lose her connection with the doll's body.

She didn't want to experience that feeling of being slashed directly into her consciousness by a sickle a second time.

“Seele, you don’t really think your sister Bronya gained weight by accident last night, do you? The reason her belly got so big overnight is probably related to her activities last night. You know, Bronya stayed with her big brother all night.”

"Big brother? You mean Xiao Yuan?"

"Of course, they probably enjoyed the night, even spending time together in the same bed. So, rather than saying Bronya gained weight, it's more accurate to say she had a very pleasant night with her older brother."

Let's think about this more deeply—

"What exactly did your sister Bronya eat last night to make her stomach so full? Maybe your sister Bronya's stomach was actually full of big brother's candy. After all, I also tasted a little bit when I was chasing big brother."

The Herrscher of Domination held up two fingers to indicate that it was only a tiny bit, but Seele was pondering another question.

"Candy? Did Xiaoyuan make it himself for Halloween? Eating too much candy will cause cavities. Bronya is really something. I'll have to give Bronya a proper oral exam later."

Is the other person genuinely oblivious, or are they feigning ignorance? I've already given them such a subtle hint; do they really need to spell it out explicitly?!

"Yes, and it's all-natural with zero additives," the Herrscher of Domination retorted sarcastically. If it were Seele's other personality, they probably would have understood what she meant immediately. That's why she disliked her so much...

[Stay calm, stay calm. You need to seize that moment when the other person lets their guard down, not expose your own weaknesses.]

Even so, eating too much at night will still cause cavities.

However, after resolving the current issue of the Herrscher of Domination and meeting Obuchi, she also wanted to ask him for two portions of candy.

One for myself, and another for another Seele. I hope everyone has a sweet and happy Halloween. A little bit is fine, as long as you don't do anything as reckless as Bronya...

"Seele, would you like to eat your big brother's candy?" The Herrscher of Dominion's words were full of seductive traps.

"If it's just one, there shouldn't be any problem."

But when the Herrscher of Dominion revealed the truth about the candy, Seele's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Huh?!"

Does this mean that Bronya is also pregnant with Abyss's child?

But then... on one side is her most beloved Bronya, and on the other is her alter ego who has always silently protected her. No matter who it is, she doesn't want to see the other sad or upset.

But Xiao Yuan only has one choice... Who will he choose? Should he use the power of creation to split Xiao Yuan into two equal parts?

Chapter 465 Mother, what mother?!

That way, neither Bronya nor Seele will be sad. I just wonder if Xiao Yuan would be willing to be divided into two equal parts?

However, this was still too abrupt, and even Seele was not mentally prepared.

[Great opportunity!]

In the instant that Seele relaxed her guard, the Herrscher of Dominion seized the fleeting opportunity and began to attempt to steal her powers.

Realizing that her power was flowing slowly toward the Law of Domination like a stream, Seele understood the problem.

The other party's words were merely a way to relax his mind and better control his powers. "Sister Bronya must have just accidentally eaten too much last night, not what the Herrscher of Domination said."

Seele tried to comfort herself.

She couldn't let herself be affected by the opponent any longer. Seele wanted to launch a defense to fill the gap that the Herrscher of Domination had created.

But then I thought—

The channel formed by the connection between the Herrscher of Domination and oneself also exposes the Herrscher's core to oneself. If one were to use the power of the Herrscher of Life and Death to launch a proactive attack... would it be possible to directly inflict some damage on her physical body?

Thinking of this, Seele closed her eyes and actively followed the channel to sense the other party's Herrscher core.

[The speed at which her powers were being seized had increased? She knew Seele was utterly vulnerable. Once her psychological defenses were slightly breached, Seele would be completely at her mercy. Getting Herrscher powers for free—was there really such a good thing? Once she was completely stripped of them… she could finally test the difference between a Herrscher born from the Sea of ​​Quanta and one born from the Imaginary Tree.]

The Lady Ruler was secretly pleased with her success.

however--

When the other party's energy began to merge into her Herrscher core, her expression suddenly changed, becoming extremely terrified. Her small mouth opened wide in surprise, as if she could not believe what was happening inside the Herrscher core.

That waning power, like a surging tide, mercilessly swallowed her consciousness.

The Herrscher felt her mind being gradually swallowed up, as if she were falling into an endless abyss. Her eyes were filled with panic. She began to concentrate and mobilize the power of the Herrscher core to try to resist Seele's attack.

Her Herrscher core began to flicker, emitting a deep light.

However, Seele's proactive offensive rendered the Herrscher of Dominion's resistance utterly futile, and her body began to tremble slightly.

【Uh... I, my consciousness, ah!!! ! ...

She disregarded everything else, even the backlash of failing to control the Herrscher of Seele, and proactively severed her connection with the core of the Herrscher of Seele.

If it weren't for her decisive action, and if she had allowed that share to roam freely within her Herrscher core, she would probably have gone from being a Herrscher of a Thousand to a Herrscher of a Hundred... completely different from when she seized Raiden Mei's Herrscher core.

The Herrscher of Domination speculates—

The powers Seele gained from across the sea are completely incompatible with her own power of control. Neither can be integrated into the other, and they would fight as soon as they meet. Moreover, judging from the situation just now, the other party's power has completely suppressed her.

[Phew, what a joke, I'm actually being treated as inferior!]

The opponent's abilities are practically her natural enemy; neither the power of domination nor the newly acquired power of erosion has any effect on her.

In this way, let alone seizing Kiana's End Power on the moon, if she doesn't find a way to escape from this alternate dimension simulating the Sea of ​​Quanta, she herself is very likely to perish here. How could a new Herrscher possibly be born on the other side of the sea? It's simply absurd!

It seems the only option is to forcibly sever the connection with this doll. Damn it... I'll have to carry out the following actions behind Seele's back.

The Herrscher of Domination thought her return, combined with the power of the Herrscher of Corruption, was a dream come true. But after meeting Seele, even surviving on Earth seemed to become a hellish challenge. She didn't believe that Seele and Bronya would allow such a threat to exist, and that they would be relentlessly pursued by her.

[Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!]

The Herrscher of Domination tugged at the blonde hair on either side of her head, looking somewhat annoyed.

"Surrender, Ruler of a Thousand. Continuing to resist will only cause you more pain. You might as well take a good look at the world today and feel the kindness from others."

[So, Seele, are you the villain, or am I?]

"Surrender? Absolutely not! Don't think this is the end of it. I'll remember this grudge!"

The Herrscher of Domination uttered the most vicious words she could muster at Seele, but then severed her connection with the doll-like body as if committing suicide, thus slinking away from the alternate dimension unfolding from the Sea of ​​Quanta.

"Did they escape?"

Seele shook her head helplessly, returning to her original form from her Herrscher of Life and Death state, while the surrounding environment returned from the Sea of ​​Quanta to reality.

Perhaps the moment Seele returned was to ease the awkwardness of being alone with Bronya.

Miss Blackie quickly came to her side and asked, "Seele, did you help me and Bronya get revenge?"

"You're about to become a mother, so stop acting like you used to. The Herrscher of Life and Death seems to have a strong ability to suppress the Herrscher of Domination. Although the Herrscher of Life and Death escaped by severing the puppet's body, the Herrscher of Domination's main body has been severely injured."

Seele looked at the other person with affection and gently stroked her little nose with her fingertip.

"As expected of Seele, a Herrscher of Domination who is complacent about stealing the powers of other Herrschers should have been eliminated long ago. Since she has already suffered a heavy blow, she will definitely be hiding in some deserted alley and trembling for a while. Why don't we take the initiative and catch her off guard!"

While Miss Black Seele was rubbing her hands together in anticipation, Bronya noticed Seele's choice of words and the fact that the other's protruding belly was even larger than her own.

"Mother? What mother?"

Bronya slowly approached Miss Blackie, staring intently at her.

"Ah, well, uh, cough cough... Bronya, you must have misheard." Miss Black Seele intentionally tried to change the subject. She still wanted to receive more of Seele's love and care.

Chapter 466 Fighting for food with Miss Kuroki~

Seeing that Seele was deliberately trying to change the subject, Bronya realized that the other person seemed to be hiding a big secret as well.

"Could it be his stupid subordinate?"

She suddenly recalled how her foolish subordinate used to always hang out with another girl named Seele, whether there was something to do or not, seemingly plotting or discussing something. Could it have been back then?!

Bronya clenched her fists silently. Just how many people had this foolish subordinate been having inappropriate relationships with behind her back? And Seele's belly was already so big, and she... she only just found out.

No, I have to deduct all the salary and bonuses from that stupid subordinate, otherwise I won't be able to quell the anger building up inside me.

Bronya grew angrier the more she thought about it, and even wanted to drag her stupid subordinate out of the city for a face-to-face confrontation. However, before that, she needed to work with Seele to capture the escaped Herrscher of Domination and bring her back to Schicksal to report. The fact that the Herrscher of Domination was still a threat in the city could not be ignored.

Three days have passed since Bronya and Seele joined forces to chase after the Herrscher of Dominion.

Although the city's network was down, Bronya and Seele quickly found the two doctors still in the city and, through their efforts and by working late into the night, created a device that could track the Herrscher of Domination.

For the next three days, the Lady of the Law had no way to express her suffering.

She had originally planned to hide in the Theater of Domination to avoid the storm and recuperate, but Seele found a way to the Theater of Domination from those two useless but very annoying doctors, Dr. Einstein and Dr. Tesla, and her little theater nest was ruthlessly taken over by Seele.

The Herrscher of Domination was forced to hide in various corners of the city, and in just three days... the consciousness of a thousand people was reduced by nearly half.

"Phew... I can't fight them, and I can't escape them. Damn it, are they really trying to wipe me out? How am I supposed to get to the moon and steal Kiana's ultimate power now? Should I just surrender for now?"

The Herrscher of Domination pounded on the wall in front of her, feeling extremely frustrated.

Now she could only hide in a corner of the sewers and struggle to survive, keeping company with the little mice around her. Since becoming a Herrscher, she had never suffered such humiliation. Covering her throbbing forehead, she struggled to stand up, leaning against the wall beside her.

"Well....."

Just now, another individual consciousness completely lost contact with her, and was contained within the scythe by Seele using her withering power.

No, this will only lead to a slow death; she must come up with a solution as soon as possible.

suddenly--

The Herrscher of Domination vaguely recalled the coordinates where Raiden Mei and her older brother's signal disappeared, and there happened to be a kendo dojo nearby.

If there were devices and laboratories inside the kendo dojo that could shield her... perhaps that would be her only way out. As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place. If she could evade her own search, she could also evade Bronya and Seele's investigation.

The Herrscher of Domination walked with difficulty, supporting herself against the wall.

To this end, she also needed to keep the other dolls as far away from the kendo arena as possible so that she wouldn't be discovered beforehand. Ever since Bronya and Seele took over the Dominion Theater, she had completely lost information about their locations on the network.

But when the Herrscher of the Void finally arrived at the kendo arena after much hardship, her hands began to tremble involuntarily. She saw the person she least wanted to see at that moment—Seele, and she was so frightened that she quickly hid behind the wall.
