What?! You want me to be the Herrscher of the End?!

Seeing that everyone's eyes were still on him, Bai Mo jokingly poked Kevin's shoulder.

"You can leave this to me. The Herrscher is just ahead, so you can go without worry."

Chapter 316 Himeko: Fu Hua? Is this your friend?

As soon as Kevin said that, the temperature around them dropped several degrees.

The pitch-black ice surged from the ground, poised to burst forth.

In an instant, everyone in the Undying Blade, including Durandal and Rita, felt an unprecedented crisis.

All the Herrschers are nothing compared to this man! If they were to fight, I would definitely die!

This is the answer in everyone's heart.

"Alright, there's no need to be so tense. Let me introduce you. This is Kevin Kaslana, the Lord of the World Serpent. We've come here to resolve the matter of the Herrscher of Ice, which is the same goal as your Schicksal."

"Besides, Otto also wanted to cooperate with our World Serpent, so he must have told you not to clash with us."

Seeing that a fight was about to break out, Bai Mo quickly stepped in to smooth things over and ease the tense atmosphere.

Of course, Bai Mo wasn't worried that Kevin would kill them. After all, the warriors who fought against the Honkai were never the enemies of the World Serpent from the beginning. At most, Kevin would just make them suffer a little.

"Greetings, Lord of the World Serpent."

If they fought, she would definitely lose, or even die. Considering Otto's previous instructions, Rita took the opportunity to back down.

However, Rita was more interested in Kevin's surname, Kaslana, than in these things. Considering what he had just said, this must be the ancestor of the Kaslana family.

What is this? Meeting the parents ahead of time...? Thinking of this, our maid's ever-present, formulaic smile became slightly subtle.

After all, as one of the few people who knew Durandal's true identity, Rita knew that she should perform better at this time.

However, compared to Rita, Durandal seemed to think less about it. What Kaslana? There are no Kaslana family members in our Undying Blade!

The Valkyrie armor with its blue-white gradient accentuated the girl's graceful figure. Holding the Black Abyss White Flower, Durandal's aura was never inferior, even when facing Kevin.

Meanwhile, Kevin also noticed Durandal. After all, even without mentioning the girl's identity, the mere fact that she was Black Abyss White Flower was enough to make him take notice.

Fortunately, Durandal's strength is quite good, and she is worthy of the Black Abyss White Flower, otherwise Kevin would have to consider whether to take her back.

Then came the sense of familiarity that came from blood ties, though it was faint. The girl's hair color was no longer silver-white for some reason, but her distinctive deep blue eyes, and... her personality, all proved that the girl in front of her was indeed a Kaslana.

He probably does care. Kevin is somewhat gratified that the Kaslana family still has such a warrior in the current civilization.

"..."

Durandal was puzzled by this. Why was the Lord of the World Serpent looking at her with increasingly strange eyes?

Is she... showing concern for a junior? Kaslana is actually myself? No... that's unlikely... and Rita's gaze is a little strange too.

So what exactly is this feeling of déjà vu from seeing an elder?!

Bai Mo, who was standing to the side, saw all of this and thought, "Not bad. At least Kevin has become more humane after getting rid of the Stigmata Project."

"Never mind, it's good that the misunderstanding has been cleared up. After all, harmony brings wealth, and fighting is not good."

It's a pity I didn't get to see the whole "recognizing one's ancestors" drama (just kidding). With a hint of regret on his face, Bai Mo shrugged and prepared to leave.

She could sense that the Herrscher's power was constantly increasing, although it wasn't much stronger, but it was still better to deal with it as soon as possible.

After all, once the core of the Herrscher of Ice is obtained, Ellie will be able to come out of her body, and she can also have a good negotiation with Otto.

Let's finish this quickly! What are you waiting for, Herrscher of Ice?

"Alright, you guys chat first, I'll go take care of the Herrscher of Ice."

"Ah."

With her hands clasped together in a prayer-like gesture, Bai Mo then turned and jumped into the already opened Imaginary Gate, heading straight for the Herrscher!

Click...click...click...

Immediately afterward, the instant Bai Mo left, Kevin also raised his hand and condensed the power of frost. Black ice rose from the ground, transforming into a pitch-black dome that completely covered the battlefield.

The members of the Undying Blade team were also shocked by Kevin's move; the frozen area... was almost half a city!

You're the Herrscher of Ice, aren't you?! Seriously, were the ancestors of the Kaslana family this monstrous?

.................................

Meanwhile on the other side.

"Who's there! Come out!"

Having just dealt with the Honkai Beasts, on her way back, Himeko felt like someone was following her, so she spoke up to test the waters.

The person following behind could not possibly be the Valkyrie of Destiny, otherwise she would have already shown herself. After all, she was still wearing the Valkyrie armor, which was the symbol of Destiny. How could a Valkyrie not know this?

Fu Hua, who was standing to the side, seemed to have noticed the strangeness behind her long ago. She had been highly focused and was just waiting for the person following her to make a mistake.

creak...creak...

Sure enough, just as Himeko finished speaking, a sound came from behind them—the sound of footsteps on fresh snow.

It seems they're not planning to hide it anymore....

Realizing this, the two turned around at the same time and faced their weapons forward.

Amidst the white snowstorm, a red figure slowly emerged.

Even in the biting cold wind and under such tense circumstances, Eden maintained a calm demeanor throughout.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to follow you. I just happened to see a familiar figure and thought it was a friend, so I wanted to come up and confirm it."

Eden's tone was very sincere, without the slightest hostility, and she put away the magnificent scroll of the past in her hand at that moment.

Only then did Himeko and Fu Hua truly see Eden's appearance.

Even amidst this icy and snowy landscape, she still shines like a rising star, with her wine-red hair, orange-yellow eyes, art-like attire, and perfect voice.

The elegance in every movement—Himeko had only ever seen such people in opera houses.

An artist? That was Himeko's first impression of Eden, though she might have believed it in a different setting.

And now, on this coral island where the Herrscher was born, such a person suddenly appears, and she even tells you that she's just here to find a friend... How can Himeko believe that?

"Fu Hua? Your friend?"

Undoubtedly, Eden's very friendly attitude made Himeko lower her guard slightly, but she didn't know this person, so the problem now lies with Fu Hua.

Chapter 317 Möbius: This unlucky kid, how come he's lost his memory again?

After forcibly activating the memories that were burned away by Yu Duchen, let alone asking himself if he recognized the person in front of him, even if he were asked to recall them, he wouldn't be able to remember them at this point.

However, deep down, Fu Hua could also sense that she felt a little bit familiar with the girl who had suddenly appeared in front of her.

Perhaps I really was friends with that person before...

Fu Hua silently lowered her head in response to her "selfish" behavior.

"Feel sorry..."

With her brows furrowed, Fu Hua pursed her lips and uttered those two words.

Eden, on the other hand, saw through Fu Hua's predicament and immediately shook her head and smiled to indicate that she didn't care.

If there are some missing memories, then it can only be a side effect of forcibly activating the Feather Crossing technique.

It seems that my old friend has experienced a lot in these 50,000 years.

Eden could now see all the hidden injuries Fu Hua had been carrying, and his usually calm eyes couldn't help but show a hint of heartache.

"Fu Hua...is this your name now? It seems that you've changed quite a bit over the years."

Perhaps he could ask Mebius to treat Hua's injuries and maybe even restore his memories. With this thought in mind, Eden slowly walked up to the two of them.

Himeko didn't try to stop them, after all, she could tell that the two people in front of her definitely knew each other, even if there was a small problem now.

"I'm sorry, due to various reasons, I may have some memory loss."

"It's alright. If you want to regain those memories, everyone will be happy to help you. By the way, let me reintroduce myself. My name is Eden."

It's hard to connect the girl in front of him with the Hua from the Paradise of the Past, but Eden can still see that Fu Hua's life now is much better than Hua's.

Although losing your memory can be disorienting, at least you're getting rid of those painful memories, right? Embracing a new life with a fresh perspective might actually be a good thing.

“Eden…”

The moment she heard that name, many scattered memories flashed through Fu Hua's mind. Her intuition told her that these memories she had forgotten were her most precious things.

Unfortunately, she can no longer even grasp those memories.

"This isn't the place to talk. Let's walk and talk."

At this moment, Himeko suddenly suggested that it wasn't good to just stand there like an idiot. If they didn't go back soon, Theresa would start to worry. Also, they should ask about the origins of this Eden later.

Moreover, she only just learned about Fu Hua's past amnesia, and she was quite shocked, but even more so, she felt heartbroken.

But as a teacher, there was nothing she could do to help with this. She could only place her hopes on the girl named Eden, hoping that she could offer some assistance to Fu Hua.

Upon hearing this, the two nodded, especially Eden, who was also happy to chat with her old friend.

Throughout the journey, Himeko followed behind to give the two enough space. However, during this time, Eden did not deliberately mention the previous civilization. He simply told Fu Hua her previous name and that she had many friends like himself.

Fu Hua felt it was very real after hearing it; at least subconsciously, she was touched and moved by what Eden said.

Just as she was about to ask more questions, Eden shook his head and gave her this sentence.

“That memory might be painful. If you want to know, Fu Hua, I can tell you anytime. But right now, I think you might need to think about it more carefully.”

Upon hearing this, Fu Hua fell into a brief silence before nodding.

However, she will eventually find her lost memories, but now is not the right time. So she should wait until she returns from Coral Island.

..................................

Before long, the three of them arrived at the rest stop by following the marks left by Theresa.

It was a very ordinary small apartment. The living room was empty and had obviously been cleaned. In the middle of the room, there was a newly lit campfire, and everyone was gathered around it, warming their bodies that were almost frozen.

But aside from all that, out of the corner of her eye, Himeko spotted two unfamiliar figures in that inconspicuous corner.

Is that girl with long green hair...? And that blond guy with disheveled hair who's obviously been beaten up... hmm... he looks familiar, but I can't quite place him.
